Microsoft Fax has never supported sending to multiple recipients.

Russ,

I'm not sure I understand because we regularly broadcast 10,000
multi-page fax's between systems running MS Fax in our lab.

Here's the process that we use;

How to Create a Fax Broadcast Contact List:

1. First create a list of your fax recipients in a comma delimited .CSV
text file format. The text file should include at least the name and
the fax number for each recipient. The header at the top of the file
should be “First Name, Business Fax”. The list of recipients after the
header should be the name and fax number of each recipient separated by
commas. Save the .CSV file to a known folder location on the system.
2. Go to Start Programs Outlook Express.
3. The initial program set up wizard may launch if Outlook Express has
not been used. Click Cancel to enter Outlook Express.
4. Go to File Import. Choose to import an “Other Address Book”.
5. Click on Text File (Comma Separated Values) and click Import.
6. Browse to the .CSV file that you modified above, and click Open.
7. Click Next. The mapping should be correctly set to import First Name
and Business Fax. Click Finish. The contact list will import.
8. Click OK when the import completes. Close the Import Tool and
Outlook Express.

How to Start a Simple Fax Broadcast Test Job

1. Find the fax image you would like to fax, right click on the image
and click Print.
2. Click next 2 times and you should be to the Select Printer screen.
Choose the Fax Printer and click next 2 more times to enter the Send Fax
Wizard.
3. Click Next to get to the Recipient Information screen. Click Address
Book.
4. Hit the drop down to choose the Main Identity’s Contacts.
Shift-click on the last contact to select all of them, and hit the “To”
button to move them all to the right pane. Click OK, and then Next.
5. Select and fill in the cover page if required. Click Next.
6. Set the priority of the fax broadcast job to Low if you would like
other single faxes to go out as needed during the broadcast. Otherwise
you can leave priority set to Normal. On this screen you can also set
the time or times you want your broadcast to send. Click next.
7. On the next screen you can preview the fax if you need to. Click
Finish when you are ready to start the fax broadcast.
8. The broadcast will start in a few seconds or a minute if there are
thousands of recipients. You can monitor the job progress in the Fax
Console. If you are using the Mainpine IQ Express with the Mainpine FSP
software, detailed logs can be found through the shortcut located in the
C:\Program Files\Mainpine\IQFSP folder.


Am I missing something here?
