You _can_ just put an email address in as the value of SENDTO there.
Since that would put the final email address in the To: line, it's less
likely to be spam-filtered by the systems at the receiving end.

Take a closer look at /etc/aliases. It's not "variable=value" format.
Try:
----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------
faxmaster: pippo@???
----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------
After fixing the aliases file, just try sending email to FaxMaster. If
that email is delivered okay, then the problem is with your Hylafax
setup. If it's not delivered okay, look at /var/log/exim4/mainlog for
the record of what happened to the email.
