The helptext for the MSGSPLIT parameter says:

"Specifies the number of kilobytes that will be used for partial message
blocks when the mail message exceeds this count. This is used only for
remote mail delivery.  This is a network parameter and is determined by
the capacities of the network gateways you are connected to.  Changes to
this parameter take effect immediately; you do not need to restart the
POP server."

My reading of this value is that it must allow for the network's worst
"choke point--" the piece of equipment with the smallest buffer (?).

Anyone have any more information on this?
