Apparently you've configured your syslog to send debug messages to your 
daemon.log file.  The messages you quote there are hfaxd debug messages.

So, in your syslog.conf file you must have some line that says:

*.debug      /var/log/daemon.log

If you didn't want debug messages from other applications, then you 
could just change /var/log/daemon.log there to /dev/null (or probably 
comment-out the line altogether) and then restart syslog.  However, 
assuming you do want debug messages from other applications (but just 
not HylaFAX), then you'd add a line before the one starting "*.debug" to 
say:

daemon.debug      /dev/null

This will dump the hfaxd messages while preserving your other debug 
messages.  (I've not been successful in getting the "LogFacility" 
configuration item to work.)

Thanks,

Lee.
