I haven't searched the archives so pick this with a grain of salt :) I think 
you can hack MailWithFAX() in faxrcv and then at least BuildAttachArgs and 
ConvertFile from common-utils.sh to handle a new FILETYPE which will call in 
the process psmark (as seen in the wiki) or pdftk (see stamp feature) or 
whatever can do the job. The pdftk path looks a bit more troublesome since 
you have to generate the pdf with the date every time a fax arrives or you 
can have a cron job doing it every minute if that's enough.

If the thing is doable and clean enough this could be handy to have in stock 
hylafax.

cheers,
