Hi,
We use fax feature with Small Business Server 2003 and Outlook 2007.
We use to send fax using the address style [FAX:0,021234567] (we type it),
the "," stands for a pause when accessing an external line to send the fax.
It uses to work perfectly ...
Since 2 weeks now (windows/office update?) when Outlook validate this fax
address (underline of the address), it transforms the "," (coma) we typed by
a ";" (semicolumn) and the fax fail to be send. Then we edit the address in
the failed send fax and change the ";" by a "," and then it works.
Any suggestion about this wrong validation by Outlook?
Regards
Phm

This format is only used for one-off faxing. By which method are you sending
faxes?

We send fax as described in our previous comment
- in outlook > new message
- in the "TO:" address of the message we type [FAX:0,021234567]
(it was working perfectly for more then 2 years and now it stopped)
- the exchange server of the small business server send the fax through the
fax card

THE PROBLEM is : [FAX:0,021234567] is changed by [FAX:0;021234567] when
clicking send in the message, and this happens only since few weeks.

Thanks

Start by clearing your autocompletion cache.
Why would you not create and use a Contact Record for Fax recipients and
dialing rules if you want to fax from Outlook? Why use a one-off address
each time?
