The maximum size of a message that can be sent is the minimum size
limit of the MTAs the message passes through. So your local sendmail
may have no limit, but your smarthost or the remote MTA might, and in
that case the remote server (which presumably is not under your
control) is the one imposing the size limit.

There is also the possibility of your connection having problems with
prolonged uplink transfers. The easy way to test that is to simply
upload a file of the same size as the message when encoded, to the
server in question (be sure to disable any compression that may be in
use), and see if that works.
