Hi,

One of Asterisk features is fax2mail.

As a good share of incoming faxes can be considered as advertising spam,
does it make sense to use email anti-spam features to filter them ?
I can't foresee any practical way to do so but I would be very curious to
discuss about it.

Regards

I do not believe this is possible.  Email spam filters use rules to filter on the text of the email message, while a fax is scanned, transmitted and received as a graphic image.
