Well, I don't actually use taint checks on my server, but:
[root@linux Apache-ASP-2.35]# perl -v

This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-linux

Hmm, I wonder what I am about to tell you. There IS a mail server 
running on localhost. :) Peering into Net::Config, I see that here are 
the defaults set on my system:
%NetConfig = (
     nntp_hosts => [],
     snpp_hosts => [],
     pop3_hosts => [],
     smtp_hosts => [],
     ph_hosts => [],
     daytime_hosts => [],
     time_hosts => [],
     inet_domain => undef,
     ftp_firewall => undef,
     ftp_ext_passive => 0,
     ftp_int_passive => 0,
     test_hosts => 1,
     test_exist => 1,
);
So, although there is no default mail server, when I installed LibNet, I 
am sure it prompted me for a mail server and its SMTP test worked fine. 
BTW, after the upgrade, I had to add PerlSetVar MailHost mail into my 
apache config file. mail in this case resolves to an internal domain 
name (mail.comclub.org.), which resolves to 192.168.0.254, another ip of 
localhost. I just tested one of my apps using $Server->Mail() and the 
mail goes through just fine.
