How To Only Send System Message To The FastFax Administrator

Hi Ray,

The latest version of FastFax (4.5.2) has a feature that’s going to do exactly what you want it to do. If you haven’t done so already, upgrade to FastFax 4.5.2.

  1. If you administer FastFax via the iSeries 400:
  2. Go through the FastFax Main Menu (FFXMAIN).
  3. Select Option #1 for the System/Environment Defaults.
  4. Place a 2 (Change) on the iSeries 400 Environment.
  5. Look for the section on sending messages to an administrator. Notice that there's a new choice for the Default message type: *SYS. By selecting *SYS you'll now only receive system messages.

Here's how the end result looks on the iSeries 400.

If you have FastFAx PC client licenses and administer FastFax via the FaxBar, then follow these instructions:

  1. Open the FaxBar and select the FastFax Administration icon.
  2. Select the Environments under Config at the left, then select the iSeries 400 environment.
  3. You'll find a button to select SYS under Send Message to Administrator.
  4. After making this selection select the Apply button.

And here's the same feature on the PC client:

That should do it. Let us know how you do with this tip!

All the best,
