In bin/faxrcvd there is this code:

   #
   # Don't send FaxMaster duplicates, and FaxMaster may not even
   # want a message at all, depending on NOTIFY_FAXMASTER.
   #
   case $NOTIFY_FAXMASTER$MSG in
       never*)         NOTIFY_FAXMASTER=no;;
       errors)         NOTIFY_FAXMASTER=no;;
       *)              NOTIFY_FAXMASTER=yes;;
   esac
   if [ "$TOADDR" != "$SENDTO" -a "$NOTIFY_FAXMASTER" != "no" ]; then

This is specifically coded to prevent sending duplicates when TOADDR and 
SENDTO are the same.  Notice that TOADDR=FaxMaster early in the script.  
Thus if SENDTO=FaxMaster also (captialization is important here) there 
will not be a duplicate message sent.  Furthermore, 
NOTIFY_FAXMASTER=never can be used for the same purpose.  However, if 
TOADDR and SENDTO are different and if NOTIFY_FAXMASTER=errors, then you 
won't normally get duplicates except for when there is an error... and 
that's probably not what you want, either.

So double-check that

 SENDTO=FaxMaster

and that TOADDR=FaxMaster also.  Capitalization is important.

Lee.
