Fax from Outlook 2007

S

support

Using Fax Services in SBS 2003 with Outlook 2007. Fax Mail Transpor
added as account in Outlook.
When attempting to send a fax direclty from Outlook (no attachments) a
undeliverable message is returned:
"The Microsoft Fax transport failed to deliver the message to th
recipient. The exchange message data cannot be accessed."

Thought it was related to Exchange profile so tested with SMT
configured for email account and tested with just Fax Mail Transport i
account list.
Same result for all three combinations.
Faxing directly from Fax Console is successful.

Any ideas

How and in what format is the fax message being created?
Now that fax integration with Outlook has been deprecated and is no longer
supported, faxing from the Fax Console is almost always the better option.
The only reason any fax integration at all still exists is that it was
easier for the developers to leave the legacy code in place than to remove
it from the newer versions that no longer support it.

The fax is sent from Outlook as a plain text message with a To: addres
format of [FAX:name@fax_number] w/no attachments

That's the format for programmatic faxing. Try entering the fax number in
canonical format or use the Fax Console instead.
