Martin,

hmmm seems the cause is a different one!
I just moved the MailWatch.pm from CustomFunctions backup and inserted a
'require MailScanner/Mailwatch.pm' in CustomConfig.pm.
Restarted MailScanner and now it seems to work fine again....
Looks like there's something funny happening, when the MailWatch.pm is auto
loaded by MS from the CustomFunctions directory.
