Note: This is part of a discussion regarding the configuration of a Cisco AS5300 for T.37 Store and Forward Faxing.
I haven't touched this series in a while, but I thought it might make sense to add a post that addresses common questions. If you have questions that aren't answered here, send me an email.

- Can I change the TIFF filename that is attached to the email?
Definitely! The command syntax for that ismta send filename [
string
] [date]
Thestring
argument of this command tells IOS what the filename should be. If no extension is added, the system will automatically add.tif
. Thedate
argument will automatically integrate the date to the filename in the format "_YYYYMMDD" (or "_%Y%m%d
" for youstrftime
junkies). - Can I change the date string mentioned above?
I haven't yet found a way to change the date string. If you hear of something, leave a comment below. - The from address using
$s$
begins with FAX=. Can I remove the FAX=?
Not that I know of. You could set a fixed from address usingmta send mail-from username
string
. If there is some way to remove the FAX= portion of$s$
, I'd like to know.
Update: I still haven't found a fix for this, but I've worked around it using Sendmail.
