Removing taint was due to the fact we set PERL5LIB so that amavisd can find 
the modules we ship.  PERL5LIB varies depending on OS.

As an improved solution, I've instead made it so that amavisd now untaints 
perl5lib:

use lib $ENV{PERL5LIB} =~ /([^:]+)/g;

and re-enabled taint.  It appears to run just fine with that solution in 
place.
