==== Windows Software ====

Optional application that makes it very easy fax from your desktop:

http://www.viewmyfax.com/setup.exe

:!: The windows software does not install a fax printer device.

Once installed, run the ''Virtual Network Fax'' app and enter your vFax account credentials.

There is little benefit to this software beyond what the web portal already provides.

===== Blacklist =====

Often, a **large percentage of incoming faxes are junk** and they keep coming from the same senders.  Vacations, Roofing, etc. etc.

To keep your monthly vFax costs as low as possible and to keep junk faxes out of your Inbox, it is desirable to **blacklist junk fax senders** so they can't send to you again..

**We will do the blacklisting for you**.  All we need from you are the fax phone numbers of the fax spammers.

Perhaps the easiest thing for any of your users to do is to simply **forward junk faxes to support@sonoracomm.com** (with the junk fax attachment).
