Brother MFC-8840DN manual Setup Mail TX, Setup Mail RX, Receive Notification on

To use this feature you must set the Notification option within the Setup Mail RX and Setup Mail TX options.

Setup Mail (TX)

You can set the Notification option in the Setup Mail TX option to either ON or OFF. When switched to ON an additional field of information is sent with the image data. This field is named MDN.

MDN

Mail Disposition Notification - This field requests the status of the I- Fax / E-mail message after delivery through the SMTP (send mail transfer protocol) transport system. Once the message has arrived at the Receiving station this data is used when the MFC or user reads or prints the received I-Fax or E-mail. For example, if the message is opened for reading or is printed the receiving station sends back a notification to the original sending machine or user.

The receiving station must support the MDN field in order to be able to send a notification report, otherwise the request will be ignored.

Setup Mail (RX)

There are three possible settings for this option ON/MDN/OFF.

Receive Notification “ON”

When switched to “ON” a fixed message is sent back to the sending station to indicate successful reception and processing of the message. These fixed messages depend on the operation requested by the sending station.

Report messages consist of

SUCCESS : Received From <mail address>

Receive Notification “MDN”

When switched to “MDN” a report as described above is sent back to the sending station if the originating station sent the “MDN” field to request confirmation.

Receive Notification “OFF”

OFF - Switches all forms of receive notification OFF, no messages are send back to the sending station regardless of the request.
