Which Net::DSN for SpamAssassin-3.4.1

Hello all

I'm confused ... what is the "recommended" version of Net::DNS to use
with an unpatched SpamAssassin-3.4.1? Or are there patches I ought to
apply for, say, Net::DNS 1.06?

Thanks! -- Mike G.

Okay, thanks for the info! -- Mike

Net::DNS has had some very good but rather weakly-controlled improvement 
recently, including an API change that got rolled back, so the latest 
(1.06) is probably the best choice (it's what I use.) However, all 
recent versions cause a problem with the released version of SA. The 
patch for that is minor:
