    To solve:

    1. Make sure the nfaxamgr.exe program is in the Domino program directory.

    2. Make sure the server connection documents are ok.

    3. Check your Address Book - Server Document, Ports section - Notes Network Port, in the Net Address field, input your Computer name or IP address of your machine.


      Tips:
      3.1 On Domino server console, type "Trace <Your Domino server full name>", e.g. Trace Server1/ACME, you will get the hints of what address the Domino server is using.
      3.2 You can try to ping <address field>" to see whether you can resolve it or not.

    4. Add your server name to your NT host file (\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\). Add the following line:

    servername <your ip address>

    5. Add your server name to the "administrators" field in the Basics section of the Server document in Names and Address Book.

    6. Check whether your have remote access to server. You must be listed in the Server Document Administrator Access field or in the ADMIN_ACCESS variable in the server's NOTES.INI.

    7. Check if the following fields are empty in the ExtraFax Server Configuration document:
        Pre-Transmission Processing Agent:

        Post-Transmission Processing Agent:

        Post-Reception Agent:


      If so, ExtraFax server should skip executing the FaxAmgr. Also remember to sign those agents with sufficient rights.

    8. Check if memory is too low. Faxamgr will monitor the memory usage. Once the committed memory exceeds certain limit, it will restart itself.

    9. Try to remove the cached fields in the ExtraFax Server document.
            $SavedAddresses

            $SavedPorts

            $SavedServer

    10. Try to run FAXAMGR manually by:
          load faxamgr "Extrafax.nsf" "pre-TransmissionProcessing"
