DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC MAIL TRANSFER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently transfer electronic mail data corresponding to the performance and environment of a transfer destination device. SOLUTION: Facsimile equipment is connected to a mail server and receives an electronic mail from a mail box. A header analysis part 32 analyzes the header part of the received electronic mail to obtain its transmission source ID. Then a transfer decision part 33 collates the obtained transmission source ID with the contents of the transmission source ID columns in a transfer management table 34. When a compatibility is found, the transfer decision part 33 reads the contents of the transfer destination ID column and transfer attribute column corresponding to the transmission source ID column out of the transfer management table 34. According to the contents 'deletion processing' of the read transfer attribute column, an attached fire part is deleted from the electronic mail. Then the electronic mail excluding the attached file part is transferred to the transfer destination registered in the read transfer destination ID column.
