Fax from Salesforce using 3rd party email-2-fax service. Is Email relay what I need?

SF doesn't fax. But it will email, and there are 3rd party email2fax services out there (efax, etc.).

 

But the 3rd party email2fax services don't work with SF email headers. They can't verify that the email is coming from one of their paid customers, so they reject the email.

 

Does anyone know email technicalities well enough to make an educated guess as to whether implementing SF Email Relay would resolve this issue? If I use SF Email Relay, would my SF emails generate email headers that look exactly like the headers I get if I send an email through my email client?

I think Cocofax will work very well and it's good choice to send a fax. All you need is to insert the headers of your choice and use google fax service as GoogleFaxFree notes (https://googlefaxfree.com/best-free-fax-app-for-iphone-ipad/) to make it easier. Off course it will be the same. No matter whatever you use. I think you can go for it.
