I don't know how you've got FaxDispatch configured. (HylaFAX "proper" 
doesn't have one, by default, as its creation/configuration is left up 
to the administrator.) But of all the typical ones that I've seen people 
using I don't see any that parse ../etc/users (whatever that is). See 
the man page:

http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/man/faxrcvd.php

I don't understand.

It should work to have FILETYPE=pdf in FaxDispatch.

Thanks,
