Too many attachements / e-mail bouncing?

[Blaze King]

MailScanner is configured to allow 200 attachments.  It said this message had 299, when really it was only a couple.  One of these messages had 7834 boundaries.

The MIME header indicates it is a multipart header. But to know how many
"attachments" there are one need to see the full message.

Or at least you need to count all the occurances for this or any other
bounderies in your message.

And the other part is of course your MailScanner config. How many
attachments are 'too many' in your config?
