Net::SMTP is part of the perl 5.8 port.

SA 3.0 should probably be a separate port rather than an update
to the existing SA port; due to the lack of backwards compatability
in the API.  For example, it would break the Exim port which by
default includes the ExiScan patches.  (The Exim port would still
build; but the SpamAssassin support would fail at run time.)
