Jason,

Not answering your question as I think it might be more complex as the # 
of parts might not be available from MIME::Parser or returned from the 
parse instance.  I'm sure there is a solution but it's not the output of 
a simple variable. 

David, might be nice to make the MIME::Parser return undef and set a var 
for max parts found so the discard/bounce/etc. action can state more 
information like found 250 parts and 50 parts allowed.

md_syslog('warning', "DEBUG: MaxMIMEParts found

I found I couldn't use MaxMIMEParts.  From memory, I believe I found 
that Digests for mailing lists from Mailman could use a lot of MIME 
Parts to attach all the emails.    I only notated this message below and 
I was already at 100!

#DISABLED TO ALLOW MAILMAN TO WORK
#$MaxMIMEParts = 100;
