Internet Fax to email

 

Spam Faxes and How to Handle Them


Do NOT mark anything sent from FAXtopia as spam

All faxes that are sent to you are processed through our main fax servers. They are all sent from the domain 'faxtopia.com'. If you get a spammy fax you CANNOT mark it as spam. In effect, you would be marking FAXtopia.com as spam. Then, all your faxes would get blocked.

How do I stop the fax spam?

In the technical world of faxing, there is no real spam filter. We at FAXtopia block a lot of senders by default. Anything from Nigeria, Russia, North Korea, and many other countries are automatically blocked by us. Local numbers that are known spammers are also blocked. However, some local spamming still occurs. Our experience is that this is happening a lot less lately.

So, our strong recommendation is to not mark any faxes as spam

If you have marked FAXtopia.com as spam you need to
white-list the domain to start receiving faxes again.

Here's some instructions on white-listing domains at various e-mail providers:

In Outlook 2010 or newer:
Go to Junk > Junk E-mail Options > Safe Senders > Automatically add domains to the Safe Senders List.
