Non-SMTP Address

[Louis Yeung]

Hi,

We have RightFax Microsoft Exchange integration. I was able to send from
Outlook using To Address using the string - "/fax=63123454/"
(e-mail address removed). I tried it via OWA and OWA just blocked it. My reading is
that Outlook uses MAPI and OWA uses WebDAV (not sure). My goal is to write a
program to send an email with attachment to this RightFax integration point
email account. I originally designed with .Net.Mail. The funny string is
blocked by mailAddress class. I then used WebDAV with similar problem. Am I
going down the wrong route? Should I be using MAPI even though my application
is expected to run unattended on server? Thanks for your help and I cannot
believe I am the first guy to hit this scenario.

OWA uses WebDAV but it's a completely separate application with its own
views into a mailbox and its own set of limitations. The OWA program runs as
a Web app on the IIS server and has no relation to Outlook's use of MAPI. To
customize the OWA program you must re-write it, a topic (as with your
question) better suited to an Exchange development group than an Outlook
development group.
