How Genifax Works

Genifax is a program that works together with your company's e-mail server, which is the system that handles the e-mail messages that you send and receive. When you send a fax message from your e-mail program, you use a special address format that identifies the message as a Genifax fax message (see the related topics for more information).  

Any message that you address with the Genifax fax address format is routed directly to the Genifax Server. Once the message reaches Genifax, it is processed and sent as a fax message.

If your Genifax administrator has set up Genifax to receive fax messages and route them to your e-mail program, you might be given a number that you can give out to people as your own fax number. The administrator sets up a system that matches the fax number on a received fax message to your e-mail mailbox, and Genifax routes the message to your Inbox.
