This is basically a postfix question and not an asterisk question. What
you should do is probably define an alternative transport, "fax", in
/etc/postfix/master.cf . See the following example for defining the
transport "maildrop":

  http://www.postfix.org/MAILDROP_README.html

This will keep the "local" method for actual mail delivery (e.g: cron
jobs to root). You should be able to define such exceptions in the
transports file.
