RE: Outgoing SMTP issue with large attachments

Carl,

If I could rephrase my perplexity, perhaps that would help.  The smaller
attachments arrive successfully at the Exchange server quite well.  Both
smaller and larger attachments arrive successfully at Email servers out
on the internet.  The Exchange server has successfully received Emails
with similarly sized attachments from other sources.  It is only those
large attachments originating at the AS/400 which do not make it to the
Exchange server.  The problem may well be outside of the 400.  Tinkering
with the firewall parameters on the SMTP attributes makes the situation
go away, but doesn't make it any more understandable.

Thanks,
Andy
