To split up a long file

Large files are automatically broken down into several messages, each 1000 lines long. Users sometimes think that part of a file is missing, when in fact there are other messages to follow.

1. Use the line limit command to set your own size limit.

   line limit 2000 send listname filename

2. You can choose any line limit up to 5000.
