No... there is no mechanism to specify the page size by means of the 
image size in the source document.  Currently the client *must* specify 
the page size for it to be sent as expected.

However, there is an "unlimited" page length option which will make the 
"-s" size only influence the page width.  So on some of my production 
servers I do this in etc/FaxModify:

if [ "$unlimitedlength" = "yes" ]; then
    FIXEDWIDTH="-dAdjustWidth=$pagewidth"
fi

... and this works because I've patched Ghostscript:

http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688064

That patch, however, does *not* handle document with multiple, varied 
page-lengths in them (they'll all get sized to the same).  I've not yet 
resolved that matter.  See:

Thanks,

Lee.
