Delivery Receipts

In Fax Voip version 8.3.1, the E-mail Delivery Receipts Outgoing Routing Method has been implemented, which duplicates the old functionality described in this chapter. For compatibility with some other functions, the old functionality was not removed in Fax Voip version 8.3.1, and also in Fax Voip T.38 Console version 9.1.1, and you can use both functions independently of each other.

Delivery notification receipts provide users with information about the success or failure of their sent faxes and audio messages. An e-mail receipt is sent to the predefined e-mail address(es), to confirm whether the fax or audio message has been sent correctly. Note that this functionality is completely independent from the similar function, which is used together with Mail to Fax (Mail to Audio), see Delivery notification to user e-mail address option in the Delivery Receipts to user e-mail address (Mail to Fax/Audio) chapter of this user manual. The notification to e-mail is sent regardless of the method of creating a fax or audio message. The delivery receipt can be sent to one or more e-mail recipients. To, CC and BCC e-mail fields can be used. A copy of the sent fax can be attached to the e-mail message in TIFF, PDF or SFF format. A copy of the sent audio message can be attached to the e-mail message in WAV format.
