Just to make sure I understand you; you do not consider these messages
to be indicative of a bug in SA? If so, I'll go away and stop wasting
developer time...

The install was done following the "Installing SpamAssassin for Personal
Use (Not System-Wide)" section in INSTALL with PREFIX set to
~/local/spamassassin instead of just ~.
It's also not clear to me how Net::DNS (which is my understanding is
the/a Perl DNS "component") could be to blame for messages like:
Can't call method "bgsend" on an undefined value at
/home/9f/bob/local/spamassassin/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/Mail/SpamAssassin/Dns.pm
Look to me like the SA is complaining about an undefined value (and
this happening in a file called Dns.pm and involving a method called
bgsend I'm guessing it has to do with sending a DNS query).
In addition, messages like "Use of uninitialized value in hash element"
from .../SpamAssassin/Message/Metadata/Received.pm makes me think SA
is having problems with Received: header lines.
If you combine the two, my guess would be that SA somehow get confused
parsing Received: header lines, and ends up sending garbage to be looked
in DNS.
I'd look into this myself, but I'm no good with Perl.
Bob
