Emailing Received Fax

Question

I am able to receive faxes but can't seem to get the fax forwarded to the email address that I entered in the Print & Fax (Faxing) preference. Is there something else to do, perhaps in Mail ???
Thanks a LOT!!!

Answer 1

I have the same problem using my iMac G5 primarily just to receive faxes and forward them to my via email. Worked fine for years a few months ago it just stopped forwarding them.
I wrote a simple AppleScript to notify me when a fax comes in and is put in my Faxes folder. Have not been able to modify it to send the PDF fax with the email as of yet. And attached to the folder actions.
The script is below for what its worth, no guarantees but it works for me.
*on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items*
* tell application "Mail"*
* activate*
* set theNewMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"New Fax", content:"New Fax has been sent", address:"[email protected]", visible:true}*
* tell theNewMessage*
* make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:"You", address:"[email protected]"}*
* end tell*
* send theNewMessage*
* end tell*
*end adding folder items to*
