I do believe Debian has a working gateway email-to-fax (faxmail) and
fax-to-email (notify).

I understand you have problems in the email-to-fax gateway. I don't use
it, but from what I understand from the man page, faxmail uses the current
user when connecting to hylafax.

I would setup a faxmail configuration this way:

1. create an account for faxmail user. Every email sent to this account is
handled by 'faxmail' command;
2. create a user in hylafax with faxadduser, without password;
3. create a rule in postfix to call faxmail on that emails. Pass '-u
username' to faxmail, where username is the user created in 2.

May you try it?
