OK... I'll try to view that in parallel... that is, I have a time constrain 
to have something workable up and running quickly, however, I don't like the 
idea of having to mantain ugly patches like this one either.

I'll keep studying the code and see what I can do... I think that what I need 
is a "clean" interface for the MailScanner::SMDiskStore and 
MailScanner::Sendmail packages...

As I said before, in the comments in Sendmail.pm there's stuff that is 
supposed to be implemented that is only needed there (or at most in 
SMDiskStore) and should be more "opaque"...

I never played much with Exporter (only copied stuff other people did), but 
maybe starting to publish a module interface will help... I'm no OO-expert 
nor religious about this things, but in the long run it will help (as you 
said in notes.txt)...

Good!... I was searching for "queue" instead of "spool"... anyway, for now, 
I'll take the sendmail route...
