IFAX can check whether the format is suitable for printing in the first 
SMTP session, and if the format is not suitable receiver can return a error 
such as 5xx to the sender. It is a rough confirmation in the first session.
After printing, IFAX can send an accurate confirmarion including the result
of printing.
