I've had this problem in the past and I expect to have it again
in the future. In my experience, partial digests are usually
caused by a single period as the first and only character on a
line. This is seen as a end-of-message flag with some mail
programs and thus digests get cut off. Look through the messages
from a complete version of one of the digests received incomplete
to be sure. If this turns out to  be the case then you just have
to educate your subscribers to not use lone periods.
