Address (A) record: | | | |
mail.abc.com. | IN | A | 192.168.1.100 |
dns.abc.com. | IN | A | 192.168.1.101 |
user.abc.com. | IN | A | 192.168.1.50 |
fax.abc.com. | IN | A | 192.168.1.105 |
Also, add a PTR record of the fax machine to the reverse zone file.
Pointer (PTR) record:
100.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.IN PTR mail.abc.com.
101.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.IN PTR dns.abc.com.
050.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.IN PTR user.abc.com.
105.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.IN PTR fax.abc.com.
When all the records have been updated, restart the DNS server.
After the above configuration has been made, all mail addressed to <xxxx@fax.abc.com> will be forwarded to the Internet Fax.
Mail server
In many cases, the DNS server configuration explained above is all that is required to use the e-mail to fax relay service. However, some mail serv- ers are configured to process all mail addressed to hosts belonging to their domain as mail to themselves. If mail server mail.abc.com has been set up in this way, it will regard mail to xxxx@fax.abc.com as mail to one of its users and will not forward it to the Internet Fax. To prevent this, it is nec- essary to configure the mail server so that it will not process mail addressed host fax.abc.com. Please refer to the network administrator for the procedure on how to configure the mail server.
