Configuring Zetafax users to use the email gateway for SMTP
Each SMTP email user who wishes to use Zetafax can have their own individual Zetafax user account. Alternatively, they can use a shared account, called an email user profile account. A single user profile account can be used for submitting faxes to the Zetafax Server on behalf of numerous email accounts. This section describes the purpose of both types of account and includes full instructions on configuring Email Gateway users.
Zetafax supports a range of SMTP servers; unfortunately there is no common way to automatically import lists of email users from these email servers.
To individually enable these users just type in the email address of the user in the Email user name field on the Zetafax User Details page. Alternatively to bulk enable these users, follow the instructions below:
•Export the list of email addresses from the SMTP server.
Consult your email server documentation for information on how to obtain this list.
•Using Notepad or another suitable text editor, format each entry as follows:
First name, Last name, email address
For example:
Jim, Jones, jjones@domain.com
Brian, Bull, bbull@domain.com
Sam, Smith, ssmith@domain.com
•Save the file as IMPORT.TXT.
•Launch the Zetafax Configuration program (ZFSETUP.EXE) and navigate to Users and user groups.
•Select Email gateway users and click the Refresh button.
•Click the … browse button and select the file IMPORT.TXT saved earlier.
•In the Import Domain Name field, enter the email domain for your SMTP server services, e.g. yourdomain.com, and click the OK button.
The imported users will now appear in the right pane of the Email gateway users list with an SMTP prefix.
The import process will also create three wildcard entries; these are described in the Auto enrollment topic.
You now need to configure users that may use the email gateway. Each SMTP user can either use their own individual Zetafax account or they can share an account called a 'mail user profile' account.
