hm, hylafax-server depends on mailx, mailx depends on exim4 or 
mail-transport-agent, which in turn is provided by masqmail as well.
So I'd say using masqmail as MTA isn't non-standard or non-default.
mail-transport-agent lists several other MTAs, I'd expect hylafax-server
to either work with any of them or explicitly rule out those non-compat or
explicitly depend on a tested MTA.

but faxrcvd isn't doing that, there's nothing UUCP related there in ...
unless I'm missing something, of course.

I filed a bugrep for masqmail, though I think this is a bug in 
hylafax-server, as I don't see any reason for using the -f opt, thus 
restricting the type of mail-transport-agent to use, as well as the uid.gid
hylafax can run as. 
I've changed faxrcvd to just set 'From: ' in the msg - like the other 
headers - and it works (of course). What does -f buys us?

thanks
