Default Distribution List - Fax Failes

The group in which this is posted is frequented only by standalone end users
concerned with integrating personal fax with Outlook. That is what posters
in that group mean by the term "Microsoft Fax." In that context the
statement is true. Microsoft Server Fax is another situation entirely, and I
was not talking about Microsoft Server Fax. Server Fax is supported in the
respective server newsgroups.
Sorry for the confusion.

I have no idea which iteration of "Microsoft Fax" you are using. Most
have been unreliable when it comes to broadcast faxing. None of the
personal fax software has ever worked. I would expect server based fax
modules to do better, but most users who need broadcast fax seem to
migrate to boards and third party software.

We currently test XP, Vista, 2003, and 2008 in both 32-bit and 64-bit
versions. Today, most of these tests are run with the Mainpine Fax Engine
which replaces the Microsoft Fax Service Provider ('FSP') and while this
helps enormously with stability I would disagree with your blanket
statement that "Microsoft Fax has never supported sending to multiple
recipients"... it does!

Microsoft Fax is seeing a resurgence in demanding applications such as
Medical. Here's a link to a high volume application that's using MS Fax
and the Mainpine hardware/software;

I would be happy to provide you with more test data or user feedback if
that would help.
