JobControl isn't intended to "modify" a job.  From the documentation:

  

Please bear with me for a moment. If I grok this right, jobcontrol is run by faxq and parameters are
passed on to faxsend. Docs state that parameters such as Tag, MaxTries, TimeOfDay...
may be specified on a per-job basis. However, bellow you state that MaxTries isn't valid
jobcontrol parameter. I'm a bit confused with this description, probably my english reading skills.

Is it possible to set MaxTries, ToD etc, using jobcontrol or do I have to specify it during a faxsend
invocation?

    The HylaFAX configuration  parameter JobControlCmd specifies the
    script that is used to apply per-job controls on job characteristics
    such as the time-of-day to place a call.

And it lists the parameters that may be specified on a per-job basis:
       Tag                   Type       Default      Description
       MaxConcurrentCalls    integer    1            max concurrent jobs to process for a destination
       MaxDials              integer    unlimited    max phone calls to make to transmit a job
       MaxSendPages          integer    unlimited    max pages to permit in a send
       MaxTries              integer    3            max attempts to transmit a job
       Modem                 string     Any          ModemGroup to use for destination
       RejectNotice          string     -            rejection notice for transmit job
       TimeOfDay             string     Any          default time-of-day restrictions
       VRes                  integer    -            Vertical resolution
       UseXVRes              integer    -            Usage of extended resolutions

And states:
    In addition to the above parameters, any other parameters that are
    specified are automatically  accumulated and passed to programs
    invoked by faxq, such as faxsend and pagesend.  This is a convenient
    mechanism for defining configuration parameters for all modems
    without having to modify each modem-specific configuration file.
    For example, SessionTracing: 0x4f

  

Only parameter that seams to work, is RejectNotice which correctly
rejects fax.

For example, jobcontrol outputt:

MaxTries: 20
    

Not a valid JobControl parameter, nor a valid config option for
faxsend/pagesend

  

JobRetryNoAnswer: 5
    

Not a valid JobControl parameter, nor a valid config option for
faxsend/pagesend

  

JobRetryBusy: 80
    

Not a valid JobControl parameter, nor a valid config option for
faxsend/pagesend

  

JobRetryOther: 13
    

Not a valid JobControl parameter, not a valid config option for
faxsend/pagesend
