If a physical fax machine isn't involved, and all you're trying to do is have 
inbound faxes delivered to an email address, you shouldn't enable "Fax 
Detection".  Others are welcome to correct me if I'm off, but I have my own 
system working this way WITHOUT fax detection enabled.

I believe you need fax detection if you want to share the same destination for 
both fax and voice.

It is a fax only extension. And I suppose there is something wrong with inbound 
handling. Strange thing is, when sending a fax from that extension to itself, 
everything works fine. The fax is emailed to the given mailaddress.

"It is a fax only extension." - david

Fax detection on a fax only DID is not logical. Lets think about what it does. 
The call is sent to the fax server and then fax detection takes it away when it 
detects it is a fax and sends it to the fax server over again. Fax detection is 
only when you are trying to use it for voice and fax. For best results you 
would use a dedicated DID/DDI per fax server.
