Abstract
In an image forming device, on a condition that a transmission instruction including an email address is received, and the memory stores a registered domain matching a target domain extracted from the email address, a controller performs a transmission process. The transmission instruction is an instruction to transmit scan data to be generated by the scanner to the email address. The transmission process is to transmit an email having the generated scan data to the email address. On a condition that the transmission instruction is received, and the memory stores no registered domain matching the target domain, the controller restricts the transmission process. On a condition that the transmission instruction is received, the memory stores no registered domain matching the target domain, and the target domain is a subdomain of a specific domain, the controller performs the transmission process. The specific domain is a registered domain stored in the memory.
