The format used for specifying fax numbers in the Recipients parameter is either recipientsfaxnumber@usersfaxprovider or recipientsname@recipientsfaxnumber. You can access the user's fax provider information using the following registry path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\Services\Fax

Use the FaxAddress key value at this registry location to determine the format to use for a user. If this registry entry does not exist, no fax service is available.
