Limitations on Email Body Length for SMTP MailMessage

76
I have a quick question as I'm trying to anticipate whether or not I may have an issue in the very near future. PM came to me today with an urgent need for a report to run weekly and e-mail a bunch of folks a dump of all the registrants for the past week. My concern is that they are receiving a LOT of registrants every hour and today sent out of mass e-mail concerning this registration to 100,000 more people.

My tiny little whip-it-out program dumps the data from a stored procedure into an HTML formatted table as the body of Mail Message and sends it. Is there a hard-limit of how large that MailMessage.Body can be or is that something that is completely managed by the mail server?

It's just a string, so you won't have any limits outside whatever limits are on a string. But I would assume that yes, the mail server might have a limiting mechanic.
