Hello,
We have recently launched a new outbound faxing system. The form looks nearly identical, however the backend of the system is very different.
It can be found in vPanel under Beta, then BetaFAX.
First, when you select the "from" number in the drop down box, you are selecting the number that will be displayed on the Caller ID of the modem call as well as the header of the fax.
Second, you will receive notifications of the fax disposition via email by default to the main billing email address. To change this, login to vPanel, then Update Information to change your email address.
To disable notifications for a fax, check the check box next to: "Disable notifications for this fax".
The fax server will send you notification regarding the status of the outbound fax by default. If the fax is delivered, it will send you an email. If it fails after 3 attempts, it will send you an email stating that it failed.
This is still "in the works" and is under development.
Some things already planned are:
Enabling a permanent change of the notification email address.
Allowing the user to select Blocked Caller ID on outbound fax (or at least select one of our outbound fax numbers to use instead of their own for privacy reasons).
The timezone is permanently stuck on UTC as the fax server relies on the timezone set on the server that it is running on. This will not be able to be changed.
The preferred format is PDF as it doesn't require any conversion on the server. It can accept images and .doc files. (None of the "new" .docx files will process properly.)
Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!
Thanks,
Daniel
