Question ID: 478112
I need all emails I receive sent to a fax number. Does anyone know a
company that does that?

That's why: This pizza place has a website and wants to offer online
ordering. Clients pay through PayPal and PayPal sends an email with
the confirmation of payment to the pizza place. The pizza place
doesn't have a computer but has a fax machine. So they need all those
emails, from different senders, addressed to their
whateveremail@whateverpizzaplace to be sent to their fax.

Important: The pizza place is in Massachusetts and I don't want to pay
huge phone charges to receive those faxes. Also, faxes have to be
received within minutes after email was sent, not hours later.

**** I do NOT need to send faxes to anyone else or to reveive faxes
via email (I know there are dozens of companies that do that).*****
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

Understanding what you are saying, however you may want to consider
investing in a office computer, emails can then be purged to a fax or
printer as they are recieved. Other than that easy answer, the other
option is to have a computer somewhere that can recieve the emails,
and then auto print to fax and have receipant number programmed in to
forward. Finding a company offering that service may be difficult. My
first suggestion is the best solution because once cost of paying a
company to do this is configured over the amount of time they will be
doing it- its cheaper to invest in a unexpensive work horse computer.

Thanks for your comments. The problem is that it is a pizza place.
Most of the time there is no one there that can even use a computer. I
had a company that did this kind of email to fax service but they went
out of business a few months ago.

I know I am offering little money, but I thought that for a person
that already knows a company that do this service all that's needed
here is typing a website address as an anwer (I know it is not enough
for a complete research on the subject...).

Hello.

You can use http://www.maxemail.com/ as they send FAX when an Email
arrives. I will not be getting the money but anyway you can put a reco
to google to make me able to answer the topics. Just kidding.

Sorry but as we could not edit the post is posting additional information again

As they state

To send a fax from your email client using our system, simply address
your fax to [fax_number]@maxemailsend.com and attach any supported
document file to your email, and then send it!


You can configure your mail server to forward to a specific number
when a mail arrives and this can be one of the solution. you cannot
Forward from Yahoo, hotmail but some allows like GMail. I have some
GMail invites and if you need I can give that you also.

Thanks

I'm sorry to say, but your business idea is wrong. It adds a weak cell
to the chain of making pizza order by website, which may lead you to
problems with unhappy customers and Paypal - fax machines fails often.
My suggestion is to use e-mail enabled cell phone instead of the fax
machine.
