I'm just applying the 4.42.8-version - hopefully to see a change in a few 
hours :)

best regards

While that version worked okay, it was inefficient as it would insist on
shutting down all the MailScanner children before starting up new ones.

I have now modified it to start up new ones as required (i.e. how it
worked before I started tweaking it). But having you patching patches is
a mess, so I will release a new beta.

This will be 4.42.8 and should appear in the next few minutes.
