> Currently, attachments are not supported.

That's kind of a biggie. What happens when someone sends an attachment? Does it bounce? Are they warned? Do I get a notification? Is it silently dropped?

From reading the code it seems like it just doesn't include the attachment and then deletes it from S3?

Right now, silently dropped.

Yeah, this is an issue I'm planning to work on. The reason I chose to release it before supporting attachments is that for my use case for receiving marketing emails (this project is primarily for my personal use, rather than as public software), there are almost never attachments.

This statement is pretty vague. Exactly what is not supported? Virtually all email is in multipart mime format.
