Abstract: A monitoring apparatus and monitoring/notifying method for receiver and sender terminals of an e-mail transmission system having a receiver terminal can confirm a status of a receiver terminal, prior to a transmission. A monitoring server monitors status of receiver terminals, such as IFAX and PC units, which are connected to the same LAN. The IFAX and PC units notify the monitoring server of the current status information according to requests made by the monitoring server. The monitoring server notifies IFAX units of the sending side, if an abnormal condition of the IFAX of the receiving side is detected. Upon receiving the notification from the monitoring server via the internet, the IFAX units of the sending side inform senders of the abnormal condition, by illuminating an LED.

Abstract: When an IFAX processing section transmits image information using e-mail, a timer monitoring section starts the count of a timer. After starting the count, a received mail determining section determines whether or not a timeout occurs. Also, the received mail determining section determined whether an error mail of a current job or a DSN of the current job is received. In the case of the timeout, when the notification content of the error mail or the DSN is an abnormal end, a transmission selecting section instructs a FAX control section to transmit an image information file of the current job to a telephone number. Thereafter, the transmission selecting section instructs an image information managing section to erase an image information file corresponding to a file name of the current job. This makes it possible to insure a real-time property as making use of advantages of e-mail.

Abstract translation: 当IFAX处理部分使用电子邮件发送图像信息时，定时器监视部分开始定时器的计数。 在开始计数之后，接收邮件确定部分确定是否发生超时。 此外，接收邮件确定部分确定是否接收到当前作业的错误邮件或当前作业的DSN。 在超时的情况下，当错误邮件或DSN的通知内容为异常结束时，发送选择部指示FAX控制部将当前作业的图像信息文件发送到电话号码。 此后，发送选择部分指示图像信息管理部分删除与当前作业的文件名对应的图像信息文件。 这样就可以使用实时的财产来利用电子邮件的优势。

Abstract: A POP access section accesses a POP3 server using a first user ID/password registered in a user ID registration table, fetches message information from a mailbox of the user ID, and stores it to RAM. A message information extracting section extracts necessary information from the message information, and stores it to be associated with the user ID. Thereafter, a reception list generating section reads message information of all user IDs from RAM, and generates a reception list. Sequentially, the reception list generating section outputs the generated reception list. A user, who has seen the reception list, instructs the POP access section to fetch an e-mail message from a panel control section. This improves communication concealment.
