PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure real-time properties for an electronic mail, making the best use of its merit. SOLUTION: When an IFAX processor 400 sends image data by electronic mail, a timer monitor 604 starts a timer 29. After the timer 29 starts operating, a reception mail judging section 601 judges whether a time is out or not. The reception mail judging section 601 judges whether the error mail or the transmission affirming mail of a current job is received or not. When a time is out and the error mail or the information content of the transmission affirming mail is abnormally terminated, a transmission switching section 602 directs a FAX control 100 to send the image data file of a current job to a phone number 803. Thereafter, the transmission switching section 602 directs an image data file controller 603 to erase an image data file corresponding to the file number 807 of a current job.
