This should get you started:
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
relay_domains = aafax.mydomain.com
relay_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relay_recipients
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
/etc/postfix/relay_recipients:
@aafax.mydomain.com does-not-matter
/etc/postfix/transport:
aafax.mydomain.com fax:
/etc/postfix/master.cf:
fax unix - n n - - pipe
flags=see-manpage user=nobody argv=/path/to/command $sender $recipient
Apply "postmap transport", "postmap relay_recipients", and "postfix
reload" as appopriate.
