Supports Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino and other SMTP Servers
GFI FAXmaker integrates with Exchange Server 2000/2003/2007 via a standard Exchange SMTP connector. There are no schema updates to Active Directory. This makes GFI FAXmaker scalable and indifferent to new Exchange service packs and versions. Microsoft Exchange 5.5 is supported simply by creating a routing rule on the Exchange 5.5 SMTP connector. GFI FAXmaker can be installed on the Exchange server or on a separate machine, in which case no software has to be installed on the Exchange server itself. GFI FAXmaker also integrates with Lotus Domino and other popular SMTP servers.

Fax over IP (FOIP) Support

With FOIP you can eaily send faxes over the Internet, integrating with the existing IP infrastructure. GFI FAXmaker's FOIP may also be used to implement Least Cost Routing (LCR); resulting in a cost-effective reduction in international calls dialed (calls are translated into a local call at the recipient's country).

Supports Lotus Notes & SMTP/POP3 Servers
GFI FAXmaker integrates via the SMTP/POP3 protocol with Lotus Notes and any SMTP/POP3 server. It can be installed on the mail server itself or on a separate machine. For Lotus Notes, @FAX addressing is supported.

Automated Fax Delivery/Inbound Fax Routing
GFI FAXmaker can automatically route incoming faxes to the user's mailbox or to a particular printer based on a DID/DDI/DTMF number or on the line on which the fax was received. Faxes can also be forwarded to a public folder or assigned to a network printer per installed fax port.

SMS/texting gateway Allows Users to Send SMS/text messages From Their Desktop
GFI FAXmaker's SMS gateway enables network users to send SMS messages from their desktop. Using the SMS gateway is faster and more cost effective than calling a mobile phone.

SMS messages can either be sent via an Internet-based SMS service or through a mobile phone or PCMCIA mobile card. The SMS gateway can also be used for administrative alerts; for example, to notify an administrator of critical system outages or application problems. Any email-enabled application can send SMS messages via the GFI FAXmaker SMS gateway. A central log of SMS messages permits the control of SMS use.

Native ISDN Support
GFI FAXmaker natively supports ISDN, allowing you to use inexpensive active ISDN cards to get multi-line faxing and inbound routing at a fraction of the price of using multi-line fax boards.

Archive Faxes to GFI MailArchiver™, to SQL, or other Archiving Solution
GFI FAXmaker allows you to archive all faxes to GFI MailArchiver, an SQL database or to an email address. GFI MailArchiver is an email archiving solution that stores all mail in an SQL database, allowing for easy search and retrieve. With the OCR module, faxes can also be searched based specific text within the fax.

Optional OCR Reading and Routing
The optional OCR module can be used to convert all incoming faxes to a readable text using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology and then route the fax to the correct user by keyword. For example you can route by first or last name or by job function. If GFI FAXmaker cannot match a recipient, it will automatically route the fax to the default recipient or router. Especially handy if you plan to archive, since it makes searching for a particular fax much easier.

Junk Fax Filter
GFI FAXmaker includes a junk fax filter that can auto-delete spam faxes on the basis of sender number.

Send a Fax from Any Application
To send a fax, users print from their word processor to the GFI FAXmaker printer, or create a new message in their email client (for example, Outlook or Outlook Web Access). The user then selects the recipient(s) of the fax from the Outlook Contacts list (address book) or enters the fax number directly. After clicking on the Send button, the fax is sent and the user receives a transmission report in his or her inbox.

Receive a Fax by Email in Fax or PDF Format
GFI FAXmaker delivers faxes to the user’s inbox in TIF (fax) format or as an Adobe PDF file. This enables users to check faxes from anywhere in the world, using either a normal desktop email client (for example, Outlook) or a web-based email client (for example, Outlook Web Access). Receiving faxes in PDF format means the fax can be easily forwarded and it also allows for easy integration with document archiving systems or workflow procedures.

Send and Receive a Fax from your Handheld or Mobile
Via GFI FAXmaker's Email2Fax Gateway your Blackberry and Pocket PC (2003 upwards) can be used to send and receive faxes. Blackberry devices have a built-in PDF viewer that seamlessly integrates with GFI FAXmaker's PDF capabilities; most Pocket PC 2003 also ship with built-in PDF viewers. As long as there is image-viewing capabilities, any GPRS mobile (cell) phones that are email-compliant can use GFI FAXmaker.
