Prevent large e-mail messages from splitting

You might need to prevent your large e-mail messages from splitting, and being delivered in smaller, confusing pieces.

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) can be configured to split large messages into smaller pieces. However, many mail clients cannot reassemble the pieces, resulting in unreadable messages. If you find that your recipients cannot read large messages because they are broken into several pieces, you might want to disable the SMTP splitting function.

To disable SMTP e-mail splitting, follow these steps:

In iSeries™ Navigator, expand your iSeries Server > Network > Servers > TCP/IP.
Double-click POP. The POP Properties dialog appears.
Click the Configuration tab.
For the Message Split Size field, select No maximum.

Note: Turning e-mail message splitting off might cause problems when sending large e-mail to networks that cannot handle large messages.
