For some strange reason faxmail or hylafax itself seem to process
certain ps files (converting themadding a blank page at the beginning)
although they should just natively get piped through. Unfortunately I
can't pinpoint what actually happens as there is not too much info in
any of the files in /var/spool/hylafax/log
Inside a perl script faxmail is called:
open (MAIL, "|/usr/bin/faxmail -v -n -d $faxno2 > /tmp/faxjob$$ 2>&1")
|| die print "Can't open /usr/bin/faxmail -n -d $faxno!\n";
which should simply hand things over to hylafax. The -v option shouldn't
have too much of an effect, removing it for testing purposes didn't
change the output.
Strangely enough 'sendfax -n -d <number> <psfile>' is no problem,
everything works fine. It's only that when a fax comes in via mail that
it get's screwed up.
The syslog states:

Grabbing the processed file from /var/spool/hylafax/docq then shows two
files, the first containing zero pages and the second containing the
actual fax.
Opening the second processed file with gsview produces the two error
messages in the attachment (sorry, couldn't cut'n'paste that text for
some reason)
Any ideas, any place I should look for logs or messages, any more info I
can provide?
