The clients should then be set-up to request notification only "when 
done" and not on retries.  With sendfax it's 'sendfax -D'.

Yes, but not via HylaFAX configuration.  Just set up a mail filter in 
your MUA or MDA (procmail?).

You can adjust these:

JobRetryBusy                  integer    -                  number of retries for BUSY dial result
JobRetryDataConn              integer    -                  number of retries for data connection dial result
JobRetryNoAnswer              integer    -                  number of retries for NO ANSWER dial result
JobRetryNoCarrier             integer    -                  number of retries for NO CARRIER dial result
JobRetryOther                 integer    -                  number of retries for ``other'' problems

See 'man hylafax-config'.
