Setting up SMTP Integration with Rightfax

I just finished my class in Dubai and a student asked about SMTP integration. My throat was shot and I was barely able to think straight, so I didn't have an answer for him. But after I had a chance to recover, I tried it out and came up with this little screencast on the problem. Its very easy as you can see here. By the way, this video is now hosted on YouTube, Google Video, and Revver. Revver is by far the best of these because I can actually see what I am doing.

Transitioning the Blogs

As a reader of this blog, you know there are three things that I care about and write about: Travel, Gadgets, and Captaris. But most of you are interested in only one of those topics. Well, at the recent Captaris International Partner Conference I was invited to start blogging on the Captaris Developer Portal and saw this as a chance to move one of the audiences to a place that is more relevant to them. So starting now all posts about Captaris Workflow, Rightfax, and Alchemy will be posted on my new blog at the Captaris Developer Portal. On the site I am TrainerMatt and my blog is: http://www.captaris.com/DeveloperProgram/blogs/trainermatt_blog/default.aspx

a quick rightfax faxutil tip - 16 shades for better looking faxes.

Whenever I am talking about Rightfax to a company that is already using the product, the one feature they are always surprised to hear about is the ability to have a better view of a fax. With the default install of FaxUtil, which is the client, faxes look fairly splotchy and ugly. Take this screenshot from a fax I just sent. 

Now that is pretty damned ugly. The problem is that its black and white, not grayscale. The fix is to go to Tools | Gray Scale and choose 16 Shades. But this only fixes it for this viewing session. To set this up for EVERY fax you view, go to Tools | Options and choose 16 Shades from the drop down at the bottom. Now all your faxes will look like this when you view them in FaxUtil. Of course, the actual fax looks the same when the person on the other end receives it.
