I installed the new version of Net::DNS last night (version 0.73) and
that caused qpsmtpd to fail with a fatal error.  Here's what I see in
the logs:

2013-11-30 10:04:04 ***  FATAL PROGRAM ERROR!!        Unknown method 'default'

I'm still running qpsmtpd 0.84, so it could very well be something
that has already been fixed. Is anyone else seeing this?

I've downgraded to Net-DNS-0.72 for now and that seems to have fixed
my problem.
