Using Fax2000 With Mail Lists

To create a mailing list : 
1. Create and save a text file that contains the addresses you want to send to.

The format of the file is plain text, with one address per line.  Files of this type can be created by notepad, or any other text editor, and should look like this :

john@mycompany.com
bob@myisp.net
tom@anothercompany.com
theboss@whitehouse.gov

To use a mailing list :
1. Print your document as normal, using Fax2000 as your selected printer
2. On the Fax2000 main screen, press the Import List button.
3. Type in the name of the file that contains the list you have previously created
4. Press the To, CC, or BCC button to add the members of the list to the message as To, CC, or BCC recipients respectively

Automatic Sending

Fax2000 has the ability to automatically add recipients to a message, and sent the message without user intervention.  This is useful for regular mailings that will always be sent to the same recipients such as weekly/monthly status reports etc.

To implement this feature, create a file named f2kauto.txt in your Fax2000 directory that contains the addressees that you want to automatically send to.

When Fax2000 is run, it checks for this file, and if it is found it will automatically send the document.
