Send Large E-mails in One Piece
Hey, David:
Is there a limit on the size of an attachment to an e-mail sent
using the Send Distribution (SNDDST) command?
For example, a simple sales report for a week (about 50 pages)
will route through our exchange server and arrive with the
attachment I specify (report.txt) but the same report run
for a month (85 pages) arrives in my e-mail with the
attachment, report.txt.dat.

The default behavior for the OS/400 POP mail server is to split
large e-mails. Sending a large e-mail to a mail client that cannot
handle large e-mails causes problems.
On the other hand, sending two or three partial e-mails to clients
that cannot put them back together causes other problems.
Greg, the way to turn off e-mail splitting depends on release. On
V4R4 and above, use Change POP Mail Server Attributes (CHGPOPA) to
set MSGSPLIT to *NOMAX.
On V3R2, V3R7, and V4 releases that do not support *NOMAX you can
create a single character data area in QUSRSYS named QTMSNOSPLT.
CRTDTAARA DTAARA(QUSRSYS/QTMSNOSPLT) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1)
On V3R2 and V3R7, install the following PTF's.
V3R2 SF42422
V3R7 SF37157
You must end and restart the POP server for the change to take
effect.
ENDTCPSVR *POP
If the data area exists, mail will not be split. You can turn
splitting on by deleting the data area.
