Just what do you think email faxing uses? It doesn't matter how secure your
transmission to the service is. From there it uses POTS.
Never secure. Never will be.

Are you talking about phone faxing where one fax machine makes a call
to another? What security holes are there other than me entering the
wrong fax number?

In any case, I am talking about email faxing, like with MyFax.com.
Unless I encrypt the email and any attachments before sending the
email-fax, I would think that it is visible to every node along the
way, no?
