Josh,
I do not believe that there is a way to disable this through config files but 
I'll let sipXconfig people comment.  

In the meantime, if you absolutely *must* get rid of default gravatars, there 
may be some other alternatives:

1- Actually make use the gravatar integration and a create free gravatar 
account for every user on your system and upload more acceptable pictures.  
This could be impractical depending on the size of your site.

2- [Hack Warning] Disable access to gravatar site in your firewall, if it is 
capable of such filtering

3- [Major Hack Warning] Change your DNS server or hosts table on sipXecs to 
resolve gravatar.com to a bogus address.  System should be able to cope with 
this but it would have to be verified.

4- I believe that if a user configures his image from the IM client directly, 
this takes precedence over gravatar.

Not sure that any of this will be useful to you but I thought I'd mention it 
just in case...
