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.
