  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When the same job spools 2 or more email datasets to EZBMCOPY,
  EZBMCOPY merges all of the email requests into a single SYSUT2
  dataset before spinning it off to SMTP and CSSMTP.  Therefore,
  SMTP and CSSMTP each receive a single email dataset containing
  multiple email requests.  Only the first one is actually sent to
  its recipient.
  

Problem conclusion

• EZBMCOPY has been amended to spin off each input dataset
  separately.
