Hello.

I had the same problem before. the solution i found (untill i can think 
another one, your email must be sent to:

fax_number.fax@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ex: 123456789.fax@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

and those lines (that are fine) must be placed in the sendmail of your 
hylafax server.

since the user can be a random one, you cannot send the emails to your 
email server, as it will not understand them.

another thing: have you add the mailer definitions to the sendmail.cf 
file ? they are needed.

the error you are getting is because something is missing in your 
configuration.

PS: just a reminder - everytime you rebuild the sendmail.mc file, all 
the changes to sendmail.cf are lost and replaced by the sendmail.mc

my advise: make all the changes you need to sendmail.mc then change what 
you want in the sendmail.cf and just restart your sendmail

hope helpfull.

cheers,
