problem with sending email

[Haris Lekatsas]

I have a problem running the script below on FreeBSD. When I run it from the
UNIX prompt it runs fine and it sends a file (bigtextfile) of any size to
the recipient address. Whenever a run the exact same script from a web 
browser as a CGI script it will send only about 17K of the bigfile and not
the whole thing. I tried many different files and all of them get cut off
at around 17K. It seems on other OS this problem does not appear. Any ideas
why this is happening would be appreciated.

Thanks!
