I do believe that the most correct thing to do is to remove the +30 from 
tiffcheck.c++.  That check there needs to agree with the corresponding 
check in faxd/FaxSend.c++ :

       if ((int) len > clientInfo.getMaxPageLengthInMM()) {
           emsg = fxStr::format("Client does not support document page 
length"
                         ", max remote page length %d mm"
                         ", image length %lu rows (%.2f mm) {E418}",
               clientInfo.getMaxPageLengthInMM(), h, len);
           return (send_reformat);
       }

So we could add a +30 to faxsend there, but I think that the safer route 
(to not send too much page data to a limited receiver) is to simply 
remove the +30 from tiffcheck.
