Description of problem:

After I updated perl-Net-DNS to the latest version (perl-Net-DNS-0.76-1.fc20.x86_64.rpm), spamassassin shows the following errors:

Jun 19 10:36:41 main spamd[10551]: spamd: connection from localhost [::1]:43706 to port 783, fd 6
Jun 19 10:36:41 main spamd[10551]: spamd: setuid to sa-milt succeeded

Jun 19 10:36:41 main spamd[10551]: spf: lookup failed: available_nameservers: No DNS servers available!



To fix this issue, I had to downgrade perl-Net-DNS to this version: perl-Net-DNS-0.75-1.fc20.x86_64

This happens on two different, unrelated servers.

I have worked around this locally by explicitly configuring my nameserver in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf:

# https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2014-June/036479.html
# work around inability to find nameservers
dns_server 127.0.0.1

Thank you. I can confirm that it works when adding the DNS servers in local.cf

Sadly, 0.76 wasn't just a bugfix release.  Apparently, there was an API change, too.  Spamassassin will need a fix (already upstream) to work to work with 0.76+.

I've already fixed f20 (see bug 1111586) 

I'll push a f19 build soon...
