ABSTRACT:
A method of controlling a network facsimile apparatus for exchanging data over a local area network and a publicly switched network uses an address conversion table for storing sub-addresses, corresponding mail addresses, and corresponding passwords in a way that relate each of the sub-addresses to a corresponding password and mail address for transmitting image information received over the publicly switched network via the local area network to a terminal at a mail address corresponding to a sub-address received from a transmitting terminal. If the apparatus receives a sub-address and corresponding password information when the image information is received, the apparatus sends an electronic mail message notifying of receipt of the image information and requesting password information from the terminal at the mail address in the address conversion table corresponding to the received sub-address. The apparatus transfers the received image information to the terminal at the mail address by way of an electronic mail message only when password information from the terminal at the mail address accords with the password information registered in the address conversion table corresponding to the mail address.
