Description Jitka Plesnikova 2023-06-28 07:14:32 UTC 
The module IO::Socket::INET6 is deprecated [1]. Using of IP::Socket::IP is recommended now.

It is mentioned also in Mail-SpamAssassin-4.0.0/INSTALL
  - IO::Socket::IP (from CPAN)
  - IO::Socket::INET6 (from CPAN)

    Installing IO::Socket::IP is recommended if spamd is to listen on IPv6
    sockets or if DNS queries should go to an IPv6 name server.  If
    IO::Socket::IP is not available, using a deprecated module
    IO::Socket::INET6 will be attempted, and in its absence the support for
    IPv6 will not be available.  Some plugins and underlying modules may
    also prefer IO::Socket::IP over IO::Socket::INET6.

I checked the code and there should be no issue related to the change.
I prepared PR for the replacement.
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/spamassassin/pull-request/15

It will help us reduce the number of dependencies on this deprecated module.
