It may also be possible that a firewall on a client machine may be
blocking connections coming from the server. hfaxd, much like an FTP
server, connects back to the client for the data connection that
transfers the actual content of the fax. If a firewall between the
client and the server blocks the data connection, you get this error.
This happened to me once.

If you are running Linux on the client, disable the firewall, and try it
out.
