Wouldn't it be better to kill faxq temporarily and manually edit (or by 
perl/shell script) the files in /var/spool/fax/sendq ?

The files beginning with 'q' seem to contain the kill time as the nbr 
of secs since the epoch.  e.g.-

killtime:913078800

Making this some larger nbr would stop the faxes being killed I 
assume (I haven't tried it).   Then you could restart faxq.
