From the man page in SendMailWuth10.lha:

---cut---
    Host-xxx-MaxRMailLen
    MaxRMailLen

	If 0, means only one recipient per queue file is allowed (some
	mailers are restricted like this).  If non-zero, then specifies
	maximum length, in bytes, that the 'C rmail' line in the X.
	file may be.  If the recipient list is larger than the buffer
	length, then multiple queue files will be generated.

	The value is the minimum of the maximum the neighbor can accept 
	and the maximum your system can create by running UUX from system().
        The longer the value for the variable UUX, the shorter your
        system's restrictions.

	Some Known Values
	---- ----- ------
	Maximum a neighbor can accept:
	Kickstart 37.175, Workbench 37.67, uucp 1.17{ask@castrov.UUCP/10},
		compiled with DICE 3.0: x = 517
	Maximum local can create, assuming UUX is undefined: 
	Kickstart 37.175, Workbench 37.67, uucp 1.17{ask@castrov.UUCP/10},
		compiled with DICE 3.0: 445 <= x < 495 (needs more testing)

	The Host-xxx-MaxRMailLen form overrides the MaxRMailLen form
	when preparing a queue file for system xxx.  (E.g., if one of
	your neighbors is 'ender', the variable Host-ender-MaxRMailLen
	will be used, if it exists, in preference to MaxRMailLen).
	Each neighbor can have a value tuned to their limitations rather 
	than being restricted to the smallest value of all neighbors.

I use MaxRMailLen = 450.

SendMailWuth10.lha should be available on AmiNet.  It's changes have
been incorporated into the main source stream and should appear in
the next release.
