Setting up DNS and Mail Servers    31

Tips of Setting up the DNS and Mail Servers for Internet Fax

The Internet Fax transmission enables sending an Internet Fax and receiving an Internet Fax 

from other Internet Fax devices.

Because the Internet Fax transmission is same as the Email transmission, you are ready to use 

this feature if you have already configured the Email system in your network.

In order to configure the Email system, you must have the DNS, SMTP, and POP3 servers.

In the DNS server, you must additionally create the MX record of the server that the SMTP 

server is activated (i.e. “mxhost.ifax.com”), and the host name of the server to add the host 

name of the SMTP server (i.e. “mxhost”).  This enables to receive all Emails that are sent to 

“@ifax.com” to the SMTP server and stored in the mailboxes.  Then this equipment requests to 

the POP3 server to retrieve new Internet Faxes from the mailbox.

Tips of Setting up the DNS and Mail Servers for Offramp Gateway

When you enable the Offramp Gateway transmission, this equipment must be configured to 

receive Emails in the SMTP transmission.

However this equipment does not have full SMTP server functionality so it cannot retrieve 

Emails from the Internet by itself.  For this equipment to receive Emails in SMTP transmission 

from the Internet, the Emails must be retrieved by the  another SMTP server first and then 

routed to this equipment.

In order to enable the transmission, you must additionally create the MX record of the server that 

the SMTP server is activated (i.e. “mxhost.ifax.com”), and the host name of the server to add the 

host name of the SMTP server (i.e. “mxhost”).    In addition, create the host name of this equip-

ment (i.e. “mfp00c67861”).  Then, you must configure the SMTP server to route Emails, whose 

domain name is “mfp00c67861.ifax.com,” to this equipment so that this equipment can receive 

Emails using the SMTP protocol.
