I can't send send mail with line with length of 3000 characters, this
line are truncated...
I use the command:

cat file|mailx -s "subject" name@domain.com

Why? It's possibile change some parameters in mailx.rc or sendmail.cf
for increasing max characters for line?

Thanks!

make it:

cat file | fold -s -w 80 | mailx.....

will break into lines of no more than 80 characters, break at last
whitespace <=80

SMTP max is 1000 or so. You will need to encode the data
to quoted-printable or base64 if you wish to preserve the
long lines.
