POP3/IMAP4 Mail Reception Procedure
The machine automatically picks up e-mail from the server at an interval which is adjustable in the range
2 to 1440 min. in 1-minute steps:
• User Tools> System Settings> File Transfer> E-mail Reception Interval
SMTP Reception
1. The IFAX must be registered as an SMTP server in the MX record of the DNS server, and the
address of the received mail must specify the IFAX.
2. To enable SMTP reception: User Tools> System Settings> File Transfer> Reception Protocol
• Even if the MX record on the DNS server includes the IFAX, mail cannot be received with
SMTP until SMTP reception is enabled:
• However, if SMTP reception is selected and the machine is not registered in the MX record of
the DNS server, then either IMAP4 or POP3 is used, depending on the setting: User Tools>
System Settings> File Transfer> Reception Protocol
• An error will be issued and error mail will be sent to the mail source when the reception protocol is
not set to SMTP even If you configure to enable SMTP reception in the DNS server.
• If the received mail contains error, the reception operation is stopped, the mail is discarded and
error report is output. Error mail is also sent to the mail source.
• When a mail is received from SMTP server during sending a mail in the machine, the SMTP server
will give a "Busy" response. The SMTP server will usually try to send the mail again later until the
time-out is reached.
• This feature cannot be used with the POP server.
Mail Delivery Conditions: Transferring Mail Received With SMTP
1. The machine must be set up for SMTP mail delivery:
• User Tools> Facsimile Features> Reception Settings> SMTP RX File Delivery Settings
2. If the user wishes to limit this feature so that the machine will only deliver mail from designated
senders, the machine's "Auth. E-mail RX" feature must be set (User Tools> Facsimile Features>
Reception Settings> SMTP RX File Delivery Settings).
