If the above line is added into /etc/aliases and a command newaliases is run, then any mail arriving at your server for sftp will cause the script /path/to/script to be run with the email as standard input.
You can do something dull with it, so the script could just be as short as:-
.... which will write the email to a timestamped (and process id) spool file that something else could be watching for.
You would still need to be able to read through the email and decipher what the request was, but then you can create the account and send them a reply fairly easily.

pollrcvd
POLLRCVD(8) System Manager's Manual POLLRCVD(8)NAME
pollrcvd - HylaFAX script for delivering facsimile received by polling
SYNOPSIS
/var/spool/hylafax/bin/pollrcvd mailaddr faxfile devid commid error-msg
DESCRIPTION
bin/pollrcvd is the command script invoked by the HylaFAX server whenever a facsimile is received as a result of a polling operation. The
default script uses electronic mail to deliver the facsimile to the user that submitted the poll request, and can be controlled by editing
the etc/PollDispatch shell script in the spooling area that is sourced by pollrcvd when it runs. The arguments are:
mailaddr the electronic mail address of the user that submitted the poll request.
faxfile the pathname of the received TIFF file relative to the root of the spooling hierarchy.
commid The communication identifier associated with the call (used to include a transcript when an error occurs).
devid the modem device on which the document was received.
error-msg an error message that is non-null if an error was encountered during the receive operation.
NOTES
The default script delivers facsimile as PostScript wrapped in MIME.
FILES
/var/spool/hylafax spooling area
/usr/sbin/faxinfo for printing information about the facsimile
/usr/bin/fax2ps for converting TIFF to PostScript
/usr/lib/sendmail for delivering mail
