Addressing the Email
To send a fax from email, compose a message from your email. In the To: field, type the 11 digit fax number followed by @fax.mytelpros.com (ex 18885551212@fax.mytelpros.com)
It is important to always use an 11 digit fax number when formatting the email. This means you need to include a “1” for faxing any number in the USA or CANADA.
Faxes sent via email are limited to 10 recipients or less. Attempting to send to more than 10 recipients will result in an error.

The email subject line will populate the RE: field of the cover page.
