I was thinking possibly a package that you used in the code, i.e.
Sendmail::Milter or Mail::SPF::Query, but I suppose its more likely perl
itself.

What kind of volume do you process? I suppose it might be that I'm
currently running this on Fedora Core 1, which has funky Redhat gcc stuff
(which was used to compile sendmail and milter libs). I have been thinking
of switching the mail server to Debian. What do you run it on?
