Upgrade Net::Cmd (from libnet)
(or amavisd-new to eliminate the need for libnet).
amavisd-new-2.5.0 release notes
- abandon the use of libnet (modules Net::SMTP and Net::Cmd), replaced by
own code to implement client-side SMTP and LMTP protocol support, with a
full support for pipelining and IPv6. Some of my issues with Net::SMTP go
back to year 2002, but the one that broke camel's back is a 3+ months
status quo in not fixing a serious misfeature introduced in 1.20, which
mangles 8-bit characters in mail, causing a series of support questions,
and even affecting some larger service providers without them realizing
there is a problem. Here are some relevant bug reports:

http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=14875
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=9394
P.S. libnet-1.21 eventually fixed the UTF8 encoding problem and
added support for ENVID and AUTH options; other issues are still open
(e.g. split code/text in smtp status, no pipelining support, no LMTP);
