3.) Go to the TCP configuration (GO CFGTCP) menu and take option 10. Work with TCP/IP Host Table Entries.

Create a new host name called: RJS_FAXPRESS and point its IP address to the customers SMTP mail server.

4.) Try using the SNDFAXSTAR command to fax a report via the Faxstar Server.

SNDFAXSTAR FILE(RPTSAMPLE) TONAME(RJS) TOFAX(9528981781) TOCOMPANY('RJS Software') SUBJECT('Test Fax') MESSAGE('This is a test fax')

Basically the SNDFAXSTAR command converts a report to PDF format and then creates an email message that sends the PDF file with the following formatted email address: [FAX:Joe Smith(Company)@9528981781] Supposedly the FaxStar email gateway will then route the outbound fax to the appropriate phone number.
