Just setup our PCI modem on the server, and have mapped our fax machine to all of our workstations. From what I understand, using the "fax wizard" does not allow for the routing of a delivery receipt, but I've read on that if I use exchange/outlook to send the fax I CAN get a delivery received/failed receipt.

However, I've had no luck sending a fax through outlook itself, I've so far tried to send a fax with a test contact, entering only the Business fax number.

In the end I would like users to be able to send faxes and receive confirmation through email as to whether their faxes have successfully been transmitted or not.

What steps do I have to take from here to make this happen?

Here is the error message I receive when I try sending from Outlook to my test contact with our fax address:
