Unfortunately a lot of people don't bother to set TSI and have blocked Caller ID on their fax line so you would get false positives if you filtered out those faxes. I just did a HylaFAX install last week where the enduser was extremely pleased about the fax-to-email - when a junk fax came in (about 30% of their faxes!) she just deleted it from Outlook. She felt totally empowered.

We currently using Asterisk/iaxmodem/Hylafax for fax services and get a number of junk faxes daily. Most (If not all) of them have caller-id blocked and have a TSI of "". I was hoping that, since we are using a PRI, there would be other information coming across that I could use to identify these spammers. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
