Digest::MD5 is still required by amavisd-new, it used to be needed only for computing body digest for caching, but now (since 2.3.0) it is also used to collect entropy, for the primary purpose of generating sufficiently random mail_id. Version 2.22 or later is needed, this was the first version which introduced a 'clone' method. > RedHat 9's perl 5.8.0 packages Digest::MD5 with the main perl rpm which > is at version 2.20. I would shy away from Perl 5.8.0, even if Digest::MD5 were right, 5.8.3 or thereabout started to behave more rationally. > Anyone know which is correct?

It might be possible to change amavisd to get away without 'clone', but it greatly simplifies matters, so I didn't bother. > NOTE: I will not be using DAG's rpm regardless BTW...
