I don't think many people get this list as a digest, so most people
won't see this problem at all. Just increase the number to a point where
it stops being a problem. As long as your MailScanner server is
reasonably big, you probably won't hit a problem until it hits several
hundred attachments. I can't see setting the limit to 300 causing you
any trouble.
