Abstract: A first email message is received. The first email message has a first recipient email address and a first payload. The first recipient email address has a first username portion and a first domain name portion. If a user account is associated with the first username portion, then the first payload is transmitted to an email address associated with that user account. Otherwise, the first payload is transmitted, via a fax transmission method, to a first destination specified by a first destination identifier based on the first username portion of the first recipient email address.

Abstract: Traditional fax servers may be improved to interoperate with secure fax servers, enabling high-resolution, color fax receipt by the traditional fax server in addition to traditional low-resolution, black-and-white fax receipt. A process for authenticating and registering allows the traditional fax server to receive digital faxes sent through the secure fax server. Further, an automated registration process allows sending to any existing fax number through the secure fax server. If no verified destination is known, a traditional fax is sent. If that reaches a interoperable traditional fax server, the number may be verified, digital fax retrieved, and all future faxes to that number through the secure fax server delivered as high-resolution color digital faxes. This enables seamless fax quality upgrades within existing fax servers.

Abstract: Nested email delivery substitutes a control token into an recipient email address, and uses the result as the username in email to a domain of a secure processing server. At the secure processing server, the recipient email address is extracted, control token identified, and any attachments processed and delivered based on the control token. The secure processing server may be an internet-based secure fax server and attachments processed as native documents for high-resolution, color faxing. Delivery may also be via certified email, or native documents may be processed into workspace storage or through other configured processing. Multiple tokens may be combined to trigger multiple actions.

Abstract: A secure file transfer system and a secure file transfer method for routing an electronic file or a high-definition facsimile translated from the electronic file, from a sending computing device over a digital electronic communication network to a receiving computing device. The method may include receiving, from the sending computing device, an electronic package including a modified destination identifier including a domain associated with a secure file transfer system. The electronic package may include an electronic file as an attachment. The modified destination identifier may be a modified email address having one or more other characters substituted for an original at-symbol.

Abstract: The present invention is a scanning method and system in which the colored information as well as the black & white information appearing on the individual page or upon multiple pages of a document are initially scanned in a full color, 24-bit per pixel, mode; after which, the black & white wording and/or images are then selectively identified and electronically downsized to a single bit per pixel value. This sequence of selective identification and electronic downsizing of the black & white scanned contents effectively preserves the original printed information, while retaining the accuracy and integrity of the characters forming the colored written text and illustration portions of the scanned page or document in their original 24-bit per pixel format. Via this method and system, the entirety of the scanned image is maintained as a single electronic file of markedly reduced size.
