For my Incredible PBX 3.11.10 configuration I added following steps to "tune":

Code:
### Making Hylafax notifications work by installing templates
faxsetup ## Just run it once, normally you don't have to change anything
cd /etc/hylafax/templates/en ## If you use other languages, you will have to install the translated templates also there
wget http://people.ifax.com/~aidan/hylafax/templates/hylafax-html.tar
tar -xvf hylafax-html.tar
rm hylafax-html.tar -f
mv /etc/hylafax/FaxDispatch /etc/hylafax/FaxDispatch.bak
nano /etc/hylafax/FaxDispatch
  Add: FROMADDR=<fax email-address> #Can be fake
  Add: TEMPLATE=en/hylafax-html
  Add: FILETYPE=pdf
  Add: TOADDR=<where-the-notifications-should-go email-address>
  Add: SENDTO=<where-the-received-fax-should-go email-address>
mv /etc/hylafax/FaxNotify /etc/hylafax/FaxNotify.bak
nano /etc/hylafax/FaxNotify
  Add: TEMPLATE=en/hylafax-html
faxsetup ### confirm defaults, just to be sure that everything is synced in the spool area
service hylafax restart

Code:
### Adjusiting you FAX recepient ID
nano /etc/hylafax/config.<ttyIAX0-ttyIAX3>
    Change: LocalIdentifier:        "<faxrecepientidentifier>"
faxsetup ### confirm defaults, just to be sure that everything is synced in the spool area
service hylafax restart

Code:
### Creating a client user for the Hylafax server
faxadduser -p <faxuserpassword> <faxuser>
faxsetup ### confirm defaults, just to be sure that everything is synced in the spool area
service hylafax restart

Code:
### Configure Winprint HYLAFAX reloaded
Download and install Winprint HylaFAX Reloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/wphf-reloaded/
Run and select "Configure/Main" option:
  Put your HylaFAX server local <IP address> (IncrediblePi) in
  Use defaults for other options
  Username: enter <faxuser> you created above
  Password: enter <faxuserpassword> you created above
  Default notify: the <email-adress> where you want to be notified on the progress of the fax sent by the Hylafax server initiated by Winprint
  Notification: "Failure and Success" you can change it, once everything works
  Modem: ttyIAX2
  Max dials: 3
  Page size: <what you prefer>
  Resolution: <what you prefer>, start with "standard"
  Language: <what you prefer>, start with "English", do not forget to update above TEMPLATE settings and fill the related template directories, when you change
Select "Configure/Number capture" option:
  Be sure that the default settings do not interfere with what you want, otherwise change

I dont think there is enough information on which to base any reply. You dont say how you configured your email / which provider maybe google perhaps?? / what response from email provider.

I noticed that:
GV OAUTH: DN

using exim4 for email notification, had to configure gmail to accept 'less secure' transfers for it to relay through.

i don't use google for anything.. the unit (incrediblepbx/fax) is sending me email voicemail directly... does it use a different engine to send the faxes/notifications?

don't use direct email, all is relayed through my gmail account (smarthost), so incoming faxes, etc arrive as email in pdf format as does notification emails, cron job emails, etc ... if you're using non-smarthost method, not sure if I can help, I couldn't get the SMTP authentication working, hence why I enabled 'less secure' access to gmail.
