How to Include Additional Text with the E-Mail Message Sent When a Fax Message Is Received
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.
Applies to: Exchange Server 2007, Exchange Server 2007 SP1, Exchange Server 2007 SP2, Exchange Server 2007 SP3
This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Console and the Exchange Management Shell to include additional text in the e-mail message that is sent when a fax message is received by users who are enabled for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging and are fax-enabled. By default, the text that is included when a UM-enabled user receives a fax message indicates only that the caller has received a fax message. However, you can create a custom message by adding text in the Text included with a fax message text box on a UM mailbox policy. For example, the text can include information about system security policies and describe the correct way to handle fax messages in your organization. After you add the text, it will be included in each e-mail message that is sent when UM-enabled users who are associated with the UM mailbox policy receive a fax message.
Note
The custom text that accompanies a fax message is limited to 512 characters.
Before You Begin
To perform the following procedures, the account you use must be delegated the Exchange Organization Administrator role.
