Our physical fax machine is constantly printing out "junk" faxes and advertisements, which wastes toner and paper. Does moving to a digital service help with filtering out this garbage? I'm worried that if I switch to digital, my inbox will just get flooded with spam instead. How do you guys manage this?

Spam faxes were the bane of my existence until I switched systems. I read a piece on https://hackerspaceshop.com/ about digital security that helped me choose a provider with robust filtering. From my experience, digital services are much better at blocking known spam numbers. Plus, even if one gets through, you just delete it with a click instead of wasting physical supplies. It has cleared up our workflow and saved us a decent amount on monthly office costs.
