Question

Outbound emails via email-to-fax are not being processed

I have a ticket open already but wondering if this is isolated to our organization. Emails going out via @rcfax.com appear to not be processed by RingCentral. Looking through the logs on our email servers I show the emails being received by RingCentral's SMTP server and getting back a 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as XXXXXXXX. Faxes sent via the app is working but is not an acceptable solution for us as all faxes must be archived.

This is also happening to mine as well, from what I am seeing. If you go in the portal for RC you'll see the options to add or remove users to send faxes no longer are there. I have also submitted a request myself and have not heard back from them. rc-issue.png

The same thing is happening to us as well... All of my users have disappeared, and we are not able to send faxes via @rcfax.com. I cannot get a real person on the phone to assist, just told to go to the website... We have been a customer since 2015- THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING!!!

Hi Mary. I have reached out to our account manager for escalation. Waiting 24 hours for this is not really acceptable.

Ring Central support has confirmed there is an outage and this is being escalated up.

Same issue. This has been going on for 24 hours why has this not been posted to the service status page?

Support sent me back the link Mary posted. I don't remember ever receiving a notification this was coming so this is a big issue for us.

Setting up SFP, DKIM and DMARC is going to be required for email to fax to begin again. Support is stating we will need to have our domains validated before they allow faxing.

Hi @Tydings Rosenberg,
This is not due to a service outage but rather an issue with the affected accounts that must be remedied by the account owners.

Please see https://support.ringcentral.com/au/en/article/Best-Practices-to-Prevent-RingCentral-Email-to-Fax-Service-from-Blocking-Faxes.html for information on how to setup the appropriate email policies to ensure your email is secure (otherwise a malicious actor could impersonate your email to spam or defraud others).

Once you have set up the appropriate policies, support can assist in turning this feature back on for your account.

Hope this helps,
Mike
