Why are you adding an email address?? What could you be trying to achieve
with it?

From the senfax man page:

		 -f from     Use from as  the  identity  of  the
facsimile
                   sender.  Otherwise the sender is the user that
                   invoked sendfax.  The  sender  is  an  account
                   name  to  which  the  HylaFAX  software should
                   direct notification messages.  The from  iden-
                   tity  may  be a fullblown ``From:'' line, e.g.
                   e.g.   ``Joe    Blow    <joe@foo.com>''    and
                   ``joe@foo.com (Joe Blow)'' are acceptable.  If
                   no host-part is specified in the  from  string
                   the  local  hostname  is used.  This option is
                   useful when sendfax is invoked  on  behalf  of
                   another user, such as in the implementation of
                   an electronic mail to fax gateway.

So you'd have 

sendfax -f drewdesign@hotmail.com -n -D -d 555-1212 /etc/passwd

I think so.
