If faxmail is prompting you for a password, it's because the HylaFAX
Server does *not* have a passwordless match for the client it it's
hosts.hfaxd file.

your hosts.hfaxd file should look something like:
	192.168.2.52
or, if you want to restrict it to a certain user (like uucp)
	^uucp@xxxxxxxxxxxx$

And you must be able to "faxstat" (or anything else, like sendfax,
faxmail, etc) as that user by hand without being prompted for a
password, before faxmail will be able to work from your MTA.
