This is a known issue when running Net::Server 0.88 on Perl 5.8.0. As
you found out, you either have to start amavisd-new as your amavis user,
or downgrade to Net::Server 0.87. Net::Server 0.88 does not play
well with Perl 5.8.0 (and it appears 5.8.1 also). Ideally, you would
be running a newer version of Perl, but of course upgrading may create
an entirely new can of worms.

To downgrade to Net::Server 0.87. There is a link to my copy on this
page:

It seems you can simply install it over the top of 0.88.
Read through the thread for more info.
