Junk Fax filter
Screenshot 102 - The junk fax filter options
A handy feature is the ability to auto delete faxes from certain
senders. This junk fax filter works on the basis of the FAX ID of the
sender.
When you receive a junk fax, simply enter the senders FAX ID in the
Junk fax filter list. This will cause GFI FAXmaker to delete the fax
automatically, and not route it.
Most senders will rarely change a fax ID, especially if its programmed
into a fax machine, and therefore its an easy and pretty reliable way of
eliminating future faxes from the sender.
To black list a fax sender/fax ID:
1. Right-click on the Advanced > Junk Fax filter node, and select
'Properties'. This will bring up the junk fax filter dialog.
2. Enable the ‘Delete faxes received from these FAX CSID’s’ option,
and click Add to enter the CSID of the junk fax sender.
There are 2 options:
Delete faxes received from fax machines with an empty CSID: If
you wish to be very stringent you can refuse all faxes with empty
CSID's. Note that there is a big chance that valid faxes will be marked
as junk faxes.
Keep a copy of junk faxes: This option will store all junk faxes in a
folder, so that you can review the junk faxes before deleting them.
