This is a $SPOOL/etc/hosts problem, not a .rhosts problem. Take a look
at the manual page for hosts in the HylaFAX manpages, or (to prevent
confusing it with /etc/hosts), consider using the hosts patch I wrote at
	http://cirl.meei.harvard.edu/~raoul/hylafax/patches/

This patch renames that file and the documentation with it to use "hosts.fax"
instead of "hosts". It's not an official patch, but it helps me keep this
sort of question straight and point people to the right hosts file.
