OK I think that was it. I ran a test with -D and saw the following messages:
is Net::DNS::Resolver unavailable? 1 is DNS available? 0 I interpreted that to mean Net::DNS was not installed or not working. I figured out how to find and install it after a couple of failed attempts and now the test shows: is Net::DNS::Resolver unavailable? 0 is DNS available? 1 and the test shows an Spam Hit! message. The next few real spam messages to arrive haven't been flagged yet, but they looked like they might possibly be from semi-legitimate sources. So, I'll just wait a day and see what I get. Thanks everybody for the help.
