Russ Valentine said:In theory all you need to do is add each recipient to the DL. Outlook will
send the emails, then dial each fax recipient in succession. Most
available fax transports are not robust enough to handle more than a
handful of recipients before crashing. You did not tell us what fax
transport you intend to use.

either fax or email messages to everyone on the list?
We have about 300 customers we want to send updates to and some want to
be faxed and some want email.
Thank you.
Tommie said:Thanks. I hadn't even thought of a fax transport and don't know what one
is. I thought I would just use Windows XP Pro. Will I need something else
in addition? (Thanks for your help).

Russ Valentine said:Well you can't email without an email transport, so you can't fax without
a fax transport.
You have two options for faxing in Outlook 2003, Internet Faxing or modem
faxing. The latter can use Windows XP Fax as its fax transport, but it is
not very robust at sending to multiple recipients. Plenty of information

Tommie said:Thanks Russ. Do you know if anyone has made an add-in for Outlook or
Windows to help with my dilemma? It seems to me that lots of folks would
be interested.
