They're being disconnected mid-send due to the variability of their connection

disconnect for slow connections? TIA.
That depends on who's dropping the connection. Your best case scenario
is that you'll need to adjust TCP settings on both ends of the
connection. If the client software is timing out and dropping the
connection, you'll probably have to use different client software.
I told them to test the mail.server.serverx.timeout at 600 seconds in
Thunderbird to see if it improves. Fingers crossed.
You'll probably need to capture the TCP traffic at the client's end to
figure out why the connection is dropping. Is that possible?
Not possible on their end. They're a bunch of sea-sick biologists and
oceanographers with application specific computer skills. It's been an issue
for years, but now that the instruments are getting more sensitive the data sets
are getting larger. The next cruise will have the means to upload via rsync
rather than sending via email. It's like teaching old dogs new tricks :^P
