Mike,

Look in to the JobRetry* paramaters in the hylafax-config man page.

Something like:
	JobRetryNoCarrier: 0
in $SPOOL/etc/config.<device> should make any NO CARRIER fail with no
further attempts, as long as a fax machine hasn't been seen by HylaFAX
there previously.

Note that if HylaFAX *has* successfully previously seen a fax machine at
that number, then it will try again.  The "seen a fax machine before" is
recorded in the info database (see man hylafax-info), so you can remove
it if you find a number has been re-assinged and no longer has a fax
where it once did.
