Facsimile Using Internet Mail Service of ENUM
RFC 4143, “Facsimile Using Internet Mail Service of ENUM”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2005 by K. Toyoda, D. Crocker. It has since been updated by RFC 6118. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the functional specification and definition of the ENUM Naming Authority Pointer (NAPTR) record for IFax service. IFax is "facsimile using Internet mail". For this use, the Domain Name System (DNS) returns the email address of the referenced IFax system. This mechanism allows email-based fax communication to use telephone numbers instead of requiring the sender to already know the recipient email address. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
