It's only SpamAssassin that has the problem.
It's not actually being run from an interactive shell, though. I think you need to either build SpamAssassin so it's aware of the alternative Net::DNS (maybe someone else knows how to do this) or else add a "use lib /home/sharding/local/lib/perl/5.6.1/Net" statement to the SpamAssassin code somewhere. Sorry about the old SA version, BTW. We generally stick to the Debian release, and in this case, upgrading might also break some other stuff. You might want to try enabling the Junk Filter, which is currently using SA 3.0.2, clamav, and amavisd-new - if you set it to tag-only, it should work pretty well other than not having the bayes stuff enabled (which will reduce the effectiveness some). /w
