As administrator you can accomplish this with JobControl and 
TimeOfDay... you'll probably want to only apply non-default TimeOfDay 
settings to some jobs, and so you'll need a way to match those jobs, and 
I'd suggest using 'sendfax -i christmas' for that purpose (match jobs 
with "christmas" identifiers).  The submitter will probably need to 
specify a non-default killtime as well (-k).

The client is not able to give a TimeOfDay-like value to the server... 
only a start time (no reschedule time).  Which means if you want to do 
this fully on the client side you'd have to set up a cron job or 
something that would faxalter the appropriate jobs.
