In the admin portal, go to User List > Users with extensions and find the fax extension. When you click on the extension, you will have a toolbar menu right under the name with an option for notifications. Uncheck the email notification on the Fax item.

Here is the official KBA on it:

I just read your message in a different way. If you don’t want the caller to ever hear voicemail, make the line as a fax only line. You do that by pulling up the number from inventory and under number type, select fax only:

Hi ​@FORT2025

 

Regarding your eFax question, we want to make sure we give you the right guidance. Could you clarify a couple of things first?

  • Is this number assigned to a specific user as their primary line, or is it a dedicated, standalone Fax-only number?

  • Are callers currently hearing a standard voicemail greeting, or are they getting a 'mailbox full' error?

This is a fax only number.  Yes, callers are hearing the greeting.
