16. About inbound fax sender identification.
If you have an inbound fax setup with us, you can customize how the sender identification works in the email you receive.
Often fax sending systems are not properly setup to send the full fax sender details in the fax header,
which means while we can tell you the number that sent the fax, we often can't tell you the NAME of the fax sender in your inbound email.
So we have a system so that if you know who is likely to be faxing you, you can put their name and number in a list and we will do the
lookup and try to identify the sender name from their fax number.
To set this up, you need to create a messaging list through the "Manage My Lists" page with the
name "Inbound Fax Senders". In thist list, just put the name and number of the people you expect to fax you in the "Recipient full name"
and "Fax number" fields, and we will use this to work the name of who your faxes are from.
