Default Notification for a fax posted to a public folder

We have setup our exchange to post incoming faxes to public folders. I've
setup different folder for each department. The question has come up is
there a way to notify a user like when they get a new email that a fax has
been posted to the public folder?

Since this group has very little traffic (I'm about it) and since this is
more of an exchange issue than a fax issue, I'd suggest posting in an
Exchange group.

Client side: The user would either have to be running a COM addin and have
an ItemAdd handler for each public folder of interest to get a notification
on the client side and it would only work if Outlook was running for each
user at the time the fax was added to the folder.

Server side: A folder event script or synchronous sink (Exchange 2000 or
later only) would have to be running for each folder to get the added
message in the folder (the fax) and notify the relevant user via email.

In either case it requires coding and a decision by the Exchange admins
whether to allow server side code to run.

Wow, I would have thought that this would be something that thousands if not
10's of thousands of peopel would want to do and therefore Outlook would
permit a notification via rule or something. Thanks for the info.
