If you have CID configured and being detected by faxgetty correctly, you
can configure QualifyCID on that device.  

Look for QualifyCID in the hylafax-config page.



DESCRIPTION

       The  HylaFAX  configuration parameter QualifyCID specifies
       whether or not the identity or identifier of an inbound call
       should be checked against an access control list before the
       telephone is answered.  This both  enables  call screening
       against  those  values  and  fax routing (in faxrcvd's
       FaxDispatch) based on those values.  If a modem is attached to a
       phone line that has Caller-ID or DNIS service, and QualifyCID is
       non-null, then only the calls identified  by  strings matching
       CIDNumber in the file (typically etc/cid) will be answered.

       Patterns  are  specified one per line and must conform to the
       regular expressions syntax specified by POSIX 1003.2; see
       re_format(7).  Comments may be included; they are introduced with
       the ``#'' character and extend  to  the  end  of  the line.  Any
       trailing white space on a line is ignored (for convenience when
       comments are used).

       If  a line begins with ``!'', then the regular expression
       identifies callers that should be rejected; otherwise regular
       expressions identify clients whose calls should be accepted.  The
       order of patterns in a CID file is important.  When a call  is to
       be answered, the faxgetty process will compare the phone number
       presented by the modem against the patterns in the access control
       list in the order in which they appear in the file.  The first
       pattern that matches the  client's number  is used to decide
       whether to accept or reject the call.  If no patterns match the
       phone number then the call is not answered.  Thus if you want to
       accept all but a restricted set of calls, the  last  line  in
       the  file  should  be ``^.*$''.

       Note  that  regular expression patterns should be written to
       match a phone number exactly.  That is, patterns should be of the
       form:
            ^<pattern>$

       where the ``^'' and ``$'' characters are used to specify the
       start and end of the matching phone number.  Additionally,
       regular expression patterns should handle white space that may
       appear in known locations.  For example,
            ^([+]1){1}[ .-]*415[ .-]*555[ .-]*1212.*$

       matches the following phone number strings:
              +1.415.555.1212
                  415  555  1212
              1-415-555-1212

       Finally, note that regular expressions can be used to specify
       many numbers with one pattern.
