    Hello,

    Looking for setup info, advice, possibilities that allow for a multifunction device to use scan to email functionality to send documents to users and also to automatically upload to SharePoint Online.

    I have no local SMTP Servers, only Exchange Online.

    Regards,

    WS.

    I think what you are looking for is an outbound SMTP server.   I'm understanding your scenario to be one where you scan an item with a third party application and then you want to send the output thru a mail server.

    Currently we do not have type SMTP relay access on our service.  We are looking into providing it in a future release.
    For now, could you save the file locally and then send as a regular message as an attachment?

    This is a great answer (the part about providing future access).

    My scenario is that I have a big multifunction copier/scanner/fax from an MS Gold Partner (http://kmbs.konicaminolta.us/content/products/models/bizhubC253.html).  I've used similar with internal SMTP servers in the past without issue.  As you don't allow relay, I was looking for suggestions on getting the scan-to-email working.   

    We're trying to have no servers in house, so I don't want to go with Konica-Minolta's recommendation to setup ArGoSoftMail internally for this device only.

    Short term, I've added the option to save locally (usb key) though that's really not a great option.

    Thanks,

    WS.

    Don't forget that you can use most of the free email account providers to send via SMTP. Works pretty well in a pinch for MFP's and mobile devices. Just search their help for SMTP setup.

    Hi WS.,

    Oki just introduced a new solution that will allow you to scan to BPOS (SharePoint online). No need to setup anything else.

    Hope this helps.
