Changes for version 1.954 - 2024-05-02

    Fix for CVE-2024-4140: An excessive memory use issue (CWE-770) exists in Email-MIME, before version 1.954, which can cause denial of service when parsing multipart MIME messages. The fix is the new $MAX_PARTS configuration limits how many parts we will consider parsing. The default $MAX_PARTS is 100.
