I was judging based on the section in the README file regarding the 
installation of Mail::Audit where it says, "This is no longer 
recommended."

Of course, if they're replacing the Mail::Audit module with one of 
their own, this makes sense.  I didn't see any reference to 
Mail::SpamAssassin::NoMailAudit the SA2 documentation, and the 
manpage for Mail::SpamAssassin still references ::MyMailAudit->new().

I tried to make use of ::NoMailAudit, but NoMailAudit->new() doesn't 
seem to like the \*IN reference it's called with.  I get errors like 
this:

I was able to get everything working by adding "use Mail::Audit" to 
mimedefang.pl, and then changing the Mail::SpamAssassin::MyMailAudit 
references in the appropriate spots:
my $mail = Mail::Audit->new(data=>\*IN);

Any ideas on getting NoMailAudit to work?
