Broadcasting

[Dolfie]

I have been using Windows XP Fax since XP came out. When using the fax
facility for broadcasting, I use MS Outlook Contacts as my Address Book and
find that after selecting the names, XP seems to randomly choose recipients
and the other contacts selected go missing. My machine has SP2 installed (it
will not install SP3).

XP Fax was never designed for broadcasting. Indeed, I've rarely seen it
send to more than 5 or 6 recipients without some sort of problem. This type
of service is best handled by a Fax application designed for the purpose.
In short, this is the way XP Fax usually behaves when used for this kind off
service, there isn't any solution I've seen other than a third party
application designed to do broadcasting.

I suspect/believe that this behavior was intentional, in order to prevent XP
Fax from being used as a Fax Spam source.
