Problems with spampd

I just compiled new ports which gave me perl5.18 instead of my 
previous 5.16.

Some ports (like rsnapshot) refused to build, stating they required 5.16.
spampd however didn't complain.


After upgrading my spam-machine with the new ports, spampd won't start. :(

spampd[18244]: 2014/12/03-14:52:27 Insecure dependency in open while 
running with -T switch at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Net/Server/Daemonize.pm line 75.    at line
spampd[18244]: 2014/12/03-14:52:27 Server closing!


I see (in the debian pkg archives) that this problem was fixed in 2013.

Can you please update spampd to the latest version, which include the 
patch, and which support perl5.18?

(if not, make the spampd port refuse to build, just like rsnapshot)



In the meantime, are there any workarounds other than downgrading perl?
