Sorry - yes - you caught me reading too quickly.

MaxTries *should* work, but, the JobRetry* ones shouldn't.  Note that
you *won't* see "maxtries" in the qfile change, as faxq operates on the
jobcontrol parameters directly.  The jobcontrol parameters listed in the
man page do not change the actual job parameters that are stored on
disk, but change how faxq controls the job.  Any parameters not on that
list and passed "blindly" to the faxsend/pagesend programs.  

So you are saying that MaxTries does *not* work for you, or that you
don't see the value in the qfile change?
