    Nah, it's always entertaining to hash out the arguments for hosts vs
    not-hosts!
    
    FWIW, it's a fairly even toss between agreeing with you and Matthias.
    Leaving it as hosts is always a fairly good test of the sysadmin to see
    whether they actually read the docs.  :-)

That's exactly what my message was: If one is mixing up /etc/hosts
with HylaFAX's ${SPOOL}/etc/hosts he/she perhaps didn't read the
pages describing the HylaFAX software in general (e.g. hylafax(1)
and hylafax(4F)) and perhaps shouldn't use the software at all
(keep in mind that a misconfigured HylaFAX faxsend(1M) daemon can
cause a lot of phone calls and may even cost a lot of yours or other
people's money).
