By "FaxContact", I think you mean the "$FROMADDR" used by faxrcvd and
notify?

You can change $FROMADDR in $SPOOL/etc/FaxDispatch (used by faxrcvd on
inbound faxes) and/or $SPOOL/etc/FaxNotify (used by notify on outbound
jobs).

If you want even more control, you can easily make a custom set of templates,
and set $TEMPLATE as desired as well.

I thought that was fixed in August 2007 (HylaFAX 4.4.1).  Can you show
me the output of:
	grep -A 1 status $SPOOL/bin/common-functions*
