Re: [hylafax-users] Setting max page receive size

Page size is specified in the hfaxd protocol. In other words, 'sendfax -s'.


 If an A4 tiff or ps file is committed to sendfax, all I want
to make sure of is that it will not send it at a larger size than
submitted.

It will send it at the size you specify in the hfaxd protocol.


Obviously, if the receiver only accepts something like
lettersize,

There is no such thing as "lettersize" in terms of fax support. Usually when a North American Letter gets faxed it is done with A4 page width and a variable page length. There really are only three "settings" in width (A4, B4, and A3) and three in length (A4, B4, unlimited/variable). Things like NA Letter and US Legal are accomplished by mixing A4 width with unlimited length. HylaFAX and most other fax machines tend to use unlimited length whenever possible to keep the receiver from complaining too loudly about things.


then conversion is inevitable, but I don't want the
pagesize
expanding just because the receiver supports A3.

It won't unless you tell it to.


If it can be forced into submission with regards to sending,
reception
capabilities are not a priority.

Which is probably one reason why it's not an option.


Pagesize, Pagewidth and Pagelength options are already set in
hyla.conf,
for A4 size, but it still ignored them.

You should probably examine the output of 'sendfax -vv' and figure out what is going wrong.
