Hello:

is anyone interested in beta-testing a mail gateway to winfax? It's
basically a .net application that polls the specified Exchange mailbox via
CDO and generates winfaxes from emails.

regards,

Well, since WinFax (any version) basically blows on Office 2003, SP-1 and
Windows XP SP-2, it would be an exercise in futility.

If you know the supported combination of OS/Outlook/WinFax version, I am a
voluntary masochist.

winfax 10 works ok on my xp sp2.

There are problems (already addressed by Symantec in their support area)
with xp2 when you use shared fax, i.e. winfax client on one machine is
talking to winfax server on another; but this is not required for the
gateway, which runs on the same machine as winfax, checking email from it.

Integration with Office 2003 is not required either. The gateway application
is checking email using CDO. CDO comes with Exchange, so technically, you
don't need Outlook at all. Though it wouldn't be a problem to rewrite
checking the email using POP3.
