Fix for MyDoom-O problems

[Rob Rooken]

The patch worked with some errors, as you wrote.

Bit when after restart:

Global symbol "$dir" requires explicit package name at
/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Message.pm line 1278.
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at
/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Message.pm line 3571.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/sbin/MailScanner line 52.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/MailScanner line 52.

This doesn't look very well, is it? I have 4.28.6 running here
