I use postfix. I've got an internal mail server with this conf:
in /etc/postfix/transport I add
fax.mydomain.fr    smtp:[faxserver.mydomain.fr]:25


My faxserver runs with postfix too:
in /etc/postfix/transport I add
fax..mydomain.fr   fax:localhost

in /etc/postfix/master.cf:
fax       unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe flags= 
user=fax argv=/usr/local/hylafax-4.1.7/bin/faxmail -d ${user}

(Be carefull, you may not have the same path)

That's all, and it works fine.
Maybe this could help you.

Regards

Pierre-Samuel
