Isn't that the following?

---8<---
     unless ($Features{"Net::DNS"}) {
         md_syslog('err', "$MsgID: Attempted to call 
relay_is_blacklisted_multi, but Perl module Net::DNS is not installed");
         return $ans;
     }
---8<---

That seems like a bad (and strange!) idea. Changing it that way means 
that whenever mimedefang has found out that Net::DNS is installed it 
will refuse to use it in "relay_is_blacklisted_multi".

It looks like there is a bug somewhere else if that change makes things 
work right.

Are you setting (to 0 or undef perhaps) or deleteing 
"$Features{"Net::DNS"}" anywhere in your filter (by mistake or on purpose)?

Does "mimedefang.pl -features" tell you that Net::DNS is found?

Does your filter do anything to $Features{"AutoDetectPerlModules"}?
