You have obviously found the file /var/spool/fax/etc/hosts. The 
command 'man 5 hosts' will tell all about this file - and if you 
understand a word of it you're a better person than me. 

Using an example from the man page, the following should work:
	.*northtech\.net$

which will allow any users in the northtech.net domain. The grep
man page has basic info about regular expressions.
