You probably also want to use -p.

As is stated in 'man hosts.hfaxd', "Note that the first entry that 
matches is taken, so more-specific entries should be placed first."

faxadduser doesn't try ordering the entries in any way.  So after 
creating an entry it's generally advisable to use a text editor to move 
the created line to an appropriate position in the file.  In this case 
you probably want the "mail" entry first and then the other entries to 
follow.  That way you can connect as mail from localhost and 
authenticate with the "mail" entry rather than the "localhost" entry.

There's no need to restart hylafax daemons after editing hosts.hfaxd.

Also note that you're going to get *two* Password: prompts.  The first 
is the user login password (the one supplied by the -p option in 
faxadduser) and the second one is the admin password (the one supplied 
by the -a option in faxadduser).

Thanks,

Lee.
