Abstract
A facsimile control section detects whether or not a transmission destination is busy. When the busy state is detected, the facsimile control section notifies a busy notification mail generating section that the busy state has been detected. In accordance with this notification, the busy notification mail generating section generates a busy notification mail and instructs a mail transmitting section to transmit the generated mail. Thereafter, the facsimile control section executes a retry of facsimile transmission to a facsimile apparatus of transmission destination. This makes it possible for a request source, which is placed at a remote site and the like, to easily recognize whether or not a relay apparatus is retrying.
