Additional Comments:

There are advantages to using the RelayFax client such as converting faxes on the client machine rather than using the servers recourses to convert the fax, address book, adding a cover page, etc...

Another way to send faxes using the RelayFax client without an SMTP server is sending directly to RelayFax's RFC822 folder.  You will need to verify that the client has network access to the RelayFax's RFC822 folder.  For more information, use the related articles section.

Lastly, you can send a fax using an email client, such as WorldClient or Outlook.  For more information, use the related articles section.
