Faxination fax server: OAuth 2.0 and Microsoft 365 SMTP AUTH

Status: Some models or versions

OAuth exists for part of the range. The model or version number decides, which means the answer for your unit is not the answer for the product line — check yours against the vendor's statement before planning either way.

What the vendor says

Fenestrae states that "Faxination 2024 supports Modern Authentication (OAuth 2.0) for Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online", so for this product the answer is a version number rather than a firmware wait; older installs still have to repoint the outbound SMTP account. Read the timeline on the same page with care - it still describes the superseded March-April 2026 schedule rather than the current one.

Everything on this page comes from that document. If it and this page disagree, the vendor is right and this page is out of date — say so.

What to do instead

Once firmware is ruled out, three options remain, and they differ more than they look:

• Direct Send — free, but only delivers to recipients inside your own tenant, and needs a connector plus a static IP.
• A relay that still accepts a username and password — works for any recipient, and is three fields on the device rather than a project.
• Replace the device — sometimes the honest answer. A 2016 MFP with no OAuth path and no security updates is a hardware decision, not a mail one.

The migration guide walks through all of them, including Graph API and paid relays, and the quiz on that page gives a recommendation you can link to.

ZeroSMTP is the second option. It is free with no paid tier, accepts plain SMTP AUTH, and is capped at 200 messages a day — and it sends from a shared @msgwing.com address, not your own domain. If the from-address has to be yours, it is the wrong answer and the migration guide covers the others.
