Some of you may have noticed this on Friday, but if you haven't you know now.

We've upgraded our "Send Fax" feature for all users and replaced it with an entirely re-engineered system.

The two biggest complaints we were seeing about the old one was a lack of confirmation to know whether the fax went through or not and the lack of the ability to set the "From Number" on the fax.

Both of those have been addressed with this update.

1) When sending, you now specify an e-mail to send confirmation e-mails to. You'll get a message confirming that your document was accepted for sending and another confirming the number of pages successfully sent.

2) You can now select any number within your account (voice or fax) to show in the from header on your outgoing faxes.

As I've said in the past, this type of fax service is very sticky patent wise chiefly with J2 (eFax people) and Catch Curve aggressively pursuing anyone who offers this type of service so we are somewhat limited in what we can do. As this situation changes, we have a lot of additional improvements we'd like to make to this.

One thing to note is that we do need to add in support for additional document formats soon (which we will) in this new system. It currently supports PDF and TIFF whereas the outsourced one we had previously supported more formats. We'll be adding a convertor in soon.

Please try this out and let us know if you have issues. Since it is in-house now, we have more control over it.
