Thanks Anthony and Dale,
We will review the parameters you mentioned. Thank you both very much. I'm curios though, does the recipient get any sort of message to tell them that the dataset has been truncated? Wouldn't want to let the customer think that they had the entire output if they didn't.

Be careful not to use too large a value, or the data sets allocated are too large. This can vary with configuration of DF/SMS on your system. However, in general, the allocation used for the NOTE data sets is equivalent to specifying SPACE=(6233,(aaaaa,bbbb)), where aaaa=round((MAXMAILBYTES/4000)+1) and bbbb=round(aaaa/2). Use the CHECKSPOOLSIZE statement to specify cause SMTP to check the size of JES spool file. If the JES spool file is larger than the primary allocation for the hlq.TEMP.NOTE data set, the resulting SMTP note is truncated. When the SMTP note is truncated, an informational message EZA5340I or EZA5342I is generated in the SMTP OUTPUT file. If this parameter is not specified, SMTP works as originally designed. Secondary allocations are requested for continuing growth of the hlq.TEMP.NOTE data set. Abend B37 can occur if 16 extents are exceeded and more storage is needed. Cheers Ant.

One of our application programmers ran a job to email a few (1.2 million) records to a customer. SMPT crashed, SB37 on SMTP.TEMP.NOTE. I renamed that file to SMTP.TEMP.NOTE .OLD after the offending job was deleted from JES2 and we started SMTP again. It filled the dataset again, SB37 again, odd thing is that the content is exactly the same as before. None of us know much about SMTP. What would be the best way to recover this?
