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

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

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.

It won't unless you tell it to.

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

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