How can I troubleshoot this?
The most common reason for a "part did not end with expected boundary" is that a message being processed is a bounce (delivery status notification), containing a truncated body of an original message. If this is the case, there is nothing to worry about. If a message is a regular message from one of your users, then either his mail reader is generating a bad MIME, or something else went wrong - worth investigating, but rarely seen. Mark
