Hi,
Thanks for posting here.
From your post, I understand that you want to know whether the Fax sendingcan send fax via RPC over HTTP. If I am off base, please feel free to let
me know.
Based on my knowledge, in a local area network (LAN), Outlook communicates
with Exchange servers using direct network (TCP/IP) access, also known as
RPC over TCP/IP. This method provides quick, efficient access to a
corporate network.
However, remote users accessing Exchange need a VPN connection, which gets
them past the corporate firewall onto the corporate network. A VPN is more
complex and enables access to more network services than are required for
just e-mail access.
Outlook 2003 now offers a simpler alternative to VPN connections - RPC over
HTTP. With this feature, users can have security-enhanced access to their
Exchange Server accounts from the Internet when they are working outside
your organization's firewall. Users do not need any special connections or
hardware, such as smart cards and security tokens, and they can still get
to their Exchange accounts even if the Exchange server and client computer
behind the firewall are on different networks.
RPC over HTTP works by having an Exchange Server front-end computer
configured as an RPC proxy server. This RPC proxy server then specifies
which ports to use to communicate with the network's domain controller,
global catalog (GC) servers, and all Exchange servers that the client user
requires. The Exchange group in your organization must first deploy RPC
over HTTP for the Exchange servers you use, and then you can configure user
accounts that access those Exchange servers to use RPC over HTTP.
So I believe you can send fax in outlook through RPC over HTTP, and you can
refer the following knowledge base article to do some test in your Windows
SBS environment:

I hope the above information helps.
Have a nice day.
