Somebody still uses fax?

Surprisingly I found myself sending two last year. In both cases it was
less work than sending out paper mail. No idea if these people would've
accepted scanned pdfs via email, might be too radical.

A fax is identified as to source,

Easily spoofed.

may contain a signature,

Easily forged/faked.

and can be immediately stored away as paper,

Only because the fax machine automatically printed it. Many email
clients can be configured to automatically print emails that meet
specific criteria, thus erasing that difference, as well.

Bottom line, fax should be a historical footnote by now, but a few
segments of the economy stubbornly hang onto it, such as the financial
segment, the legal segment, and certain parts of the government
segment.
