You want to write a procmail recipe - a .procmailrc file sitting in 
FaxUser's home directory on the MX for myhylafaxbox.com - or simply on 
my.hylafaxbox.com.

See:

You really don't want to use faxmail, I don't think.  But you could if you 
set up a forwarding mechanism instead of a faxing .procmailrc file which 
forwarded to the recipient@number.fax address.

Could be done, but it would be so much easier without faxmail.
