Good to know..

Now I am suspicious about the counter.  I've looked at another email 
that was tagged as having "Too many attachments".   MailScanner reports 
it has (236).  I've released that attachment and counted the email myself.

Lyris (the List Server) generates a summary email and Lyris reports that 
the email had 62 total email in the Digest.  Only two of the email in 
the digest had file attachments (a pdf and a gif).  The count is way 
short of the 236 count reported in the maillog and the 200 in 
MailScanner.conf.

I've added myself the listserver and added a ruleset that Dennis 
suggested. By Friday, I'll have a couple of digests.
