The Convert::BinHex is not used directly by amavisd nor by SpamAssassin.
It is a dependancy from a MIME-Tools perl module. Seems like whoever
did the package for MIME-Tools forgot to specify this dependency.

In FreeBSD ports the dependency is clearly stated in the MIME-Tools' Makefile,
so installing the mail/p5-MIME-Tools port brings in the Convert/BinHex.pm
port automatically.

It would be futile for amavisd to try an track any indirect dependencies
from subordinate modules.

I'll remove the Mail::SpamAssassin::SQLBasedAddrList from a list
of modules in 'sub getCommonSAModules'. Please see if that helps.
