SYMPTOMS

When you send a fax using Microsoft Exchange, your fax may be returned immediately as undeliverable. When you open the message, you see the following explanation: 
   The recipient's e-mail address is incorrect or does not exist. Be

  3. Click Microsoft Fax Transport, and then move it above Microsoft Mail using the arrows to the right of the box.
