Every character that is not a digit is removed first. What remains must be 10 to 15 digits, and the domain must be fax.moarfax.com. A 10-digit number is accepted and sent as +1 followed by those digits. An 11-digit number that starts with 1 is sent as + followed by those digits. Every other accepted length is sent as + followed by the digits.

How it works

Five checks, then a confirmation email.

The sender must match

Your sending domain must pass SPF or DKIM.

SPF or DKIM must pass for that exact sender domain. Authentication for a different domain is not accepted.

Use 10 to 15 digits

Dashes and spaces are fine.

Send from your account

Use one mailbox on the account.

More info
The envelope sender and the From address must be the same single mailbox. The addresses are compared case-insensitively and must match the moarfax account email exactly. A forwarder that rewrites the sender is rejected. Plus-address aliases must match exactly.

Attach a file

Several files go out as one fax.

Accepted types
Accepted types: PDF (.pdf), PNG (.png), JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg), TIFF (.tif, .tiff), GIF (.gif), plain text (.txt), RTF (.rtf), Word (.doc, .docx) or Excel (.xls, .xlsx).

Pages come from your plan

Uses your page allowance.

If you are over that allowance, the reply says you have used your pages for this period.

We email you back

We reply when a fax is accepted.

Secure your domain

Gmail and Google Workspace

Personal Gmail accounts are already signed by Google. Google Workspace on a custom domain needs an SPF TXT record of v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all and the DKIM key from Google Admin.

Google's guide

Microsoft 365 and Outlook

Personal Outlook accounts are already authenticated. Microsoft 365 needs an SPF TXT record of v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all and the two DKIM CNAMEs from the Defender portal.

Microsoft's DKIM guide

Your own mail server

Publish SPF or DKIM for the domain you send from. An SPF TXT record can list your mail server's IP. DKIM publishes the public key at {selector}._domainkey.

DMARC, if you want it

moarfax does not require DMARC. DMARC tells other receivers what to do when mail from your domain fails authentication. Start with v=DMARC1; p=none.

Check that it works

Send a test from your mailbox.

More info

Look for spf=pass and dkim=pass in a test email's Authentication-Results header, or use an external checker such as mail-tester.com. A rejection explains which check failed. Delivery time depends on the receiving machine.

If it fails

Email failed both SPF and DKIM authentication
Your sending domain doesn't publish either record, or both are misconfigured. Check DNS with an SPF lookup. The SPF record is often missing your provider.
We couldn't find a moarfax account
The envelope sender and the From address must be the same single mailbox and match the moarfax account email exactly. Update the address in your profile if you want to send from a different mailbox.
The recipient is not a fax number
After non-digits are removed, 10 to 15 digits must remain and the domain must be fax.moarfax.com. 555123456@fax.moarfax.com is rejected because only 9 digits remain.
You've used your pages
You have used the pages included in this period. Wait for the refresh date in the rejection email, or upgrade your allowance.
No file attachments found
Attach the file to a new message. Some clients drop attachments when you forward.
