YEnc PowerPost and Post Too Big

When using yenc powerpost, here are some hints so as to avoid your posts being rejected with the message "441 Article too big for this server" (or some similar message).

- Launch YEnc Power Post (http://powerpost.cjb.net/).
- Under the menu option "View" --> "Program Settings", go to the tab labelled "Program" and change the "Default Max Lines Per Part" to something reasonable.

The default is 1950 for yenc powerpost (11b) and many EXPERIENCED posters leave at that. If you wish to play around with this setting, we can only say that we've tested it up to 3000 with success. With any higher value, you will risk your post being rejected by our servers if not by other servers when your post propagates out to the rest of the world.

Here are some helpful links to explain it better or differently:
