Yesterday after I rebooted mailscanner was working fine, I did a grep of
log and it seemed OK but I wasn't getting any updates in mailwatch list.
I put it aside as I had other things to do. Last night when I got back
to it everything was working fine and has been all day today. 
I'll play around with various whitelist and blacklist settings and let
you know. For now they are both OK using sql setting on both.
