RE: Outgoing SMTP issue with large attachments

Andy:
Did that not help?  We regularly send LARGE attachments via our AS400,
mostly spool files, but have emailed over 1000+ page report with no
problem.  You mention you send them to an Exchange server for
distribution, my guess is the problem is in the exchange server.  Can
your 400 see the internet...... For a test at least, can you just have
your 400 send the mail using its SMTP server directly to the internet
and skip the Exchange server?  That would at least help you narrow down
the problem.

Carl,

Thanks for the close reading.  Actually, both the POP attributes were
changed and the data area was created as you describe.  I was too
simplistic in my response.

Thanks,
Andy
