how to send Fax using .NET Mail object.

[BizWorld]

hi,

i need to send fax using .NET System.web.Mail component. it works fine
for emails but Fax works well in Outlook but when i try to send Fax
using .NET object it did not work. To address of fax should be
[Fax:myfaxnoany]. here myfaxnoany means actual number that i need to
use here. it only say Cdo.Message object failed. i looked at Outlook
emails which were used to send faxes and found that email type is
mentioned as Fax. i dont know how i can specify this using .NET Mail
object.

Regards,

BizWorld.

Can you let know the OS and Outlook version you are working on?

System.Web.Mail uses SMTP to send the message. So basically you can send
only mails and no faxes, as fax uses a different transport protocol.
Check the link http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/system.web.mail.aspx
Incase, you want to send fax programmatically, you can directly use the Fax
APIs
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fax/faxusing_8lyb.asp

If you want send faxes as they are sent in Outlook, you will need to use
Messaging APIs and that will internally call the Fax APIs. So, its better to
use Fax APIs directly.
