By default, no hyla.conf is created by a source installations on any os.
Linux has hyla.conf because the packager adds it when building the rpm. So you
get hyla.conf on linux only when using rpm installation.
However, the hyla.conf is not created because it's necessary, but just as a way
to help users, since manual pages aften talks about it.

Try filing a bug in bugs.hylafax.org

The equivalent is a file named the same way, hyla.conf, the path is dependent on
how HylaFAX is configured. By default should be in the same dir where hfaxd.conf
is located.

This seems like an issue with FAXSPOOLDIR/etc/hosts.hfaxd, more than hyla.conf.
man hosts.hfaxd man faxadduser/faxdeluser

When someone sends a email-to-fax, and you look at sendq/qXX, what email address
do you see inside?
