Receiving an Internet Fax to your computer

When a computer receives an Internet Fax document, the document is attached to a mail message that 
informs the computer that it has received a document from an Internet Fax. This is notified in the Subject field 
of the received mail message.

If the computer to which you wish to send a document is not running Windows

Forwarding Received E-mail and Fax Messages

You can forward received E-mail or standard fax messages to another E-mail address or fax machine. 
Received messages can be forwarded via E-mail to a PC or Internet Fax. They can also be forwarded via 
standard phone lines to another machine.

The setting can be enabled using the Web browsers or through the machine front panel. The steps for 
configuring Fax Forward can be found in the User’s Guide supplied with your machine. 

Please see the User’s Guide included with the machine to check that this feature is supported. 

Using E-mail notification with user authentication

To use the E-mail notification function via a secure SMTP server that requires user authentication, you need 
to use POP before SMTP or SMTP-AUTH methods. These methods prevent an unauthorized user from 
accessing the mail server. 

For more information, see 

Using E-mail notification with user authentication on page 55.

Relay Broadcasting

This function allows the Brother machine to receive a document over the Internet, and then relay it to other 
fax machines through conventional telephone lines. 

If you wish to use your machine as a relay broadcast device, you must specify the domain name that you trust 
at the machine, in other words, the portion of the domain after the ‘@’ sign.

A trusted domain refers to the E-mail address. For example, if the other party’s address is bob@brother.com, 
then we identify the domain as brother.com. If the E-mail address is jack@brother.co.uk, then we identify the 
domain as brother.co.uk.
