The SpamAssassin DependencyInfo only claims:
module IO::Socket::INET6
This is required if the first nameserver listed in your IP
configuration or /etc/resolv.conf file is available only via an
IPv6 address. Also used by a DCC plugin to access dccifd over network
The minimal version is not prescribed as far as SpamAssassin is
concerned - as long as its bugs do not interfere with its operation.
The current version is 2.65 (June 2010). I'd say the minimal
version should be 2.62, based on its release notes:
