Perhaps I'm missing something: where are you getting the "recipient"s
email address?  When a fax comes in, all you have is the caller's
information (CID or TSI), which modem it rings on, and the image.  There
is currently no support in Hylafax for reading the image and determining
the destination.  You also should not wait for that functionality to be
added: it will not happen soon, as it is very difficult.

Again, here the question is how do you know the "intended" recipients?
If you want them sent to everyone, that's easy: just make an alias named
faxmaster in /etc/aliases (or /etc/postfix/aliases if you use Postfix)
with all of the addresses you want included and run newaliases.

If you want to dispatch to individuals, DID (Dial In Direct) is another
option: that gives you a block of phone numbers that all call through on
one phone line.  A DID modem can extract which number the caller dialed
and can dispatch based on that.

Without more information about what you're trying to do, I'm afraid that's
all I can add!
