From the documentation:
dns_available { yes | test[: name1 name2...] | no }
(default: test)
By default, SpamAssassin will query some default hosts on
the internet to attempt to check if DNS is working or not.
The problem is that it can introduce some delay if your
network connection is down, and in some cases it can
wrongly guess that DNS is unavailable because the test
connections failed. SpamAssassin includes a default set of
13 servers, among which 3 are picked randomly.
You can however specify your own list by specifying
dns_available test: domain1.tld domain2.tld
domain3.tldPlease note, the DNS test queries for NS
records.
SpamAssassin's network rules are run in parallel. This can
cause overhead in terms of the number of file descriptors
required; it is recommended that the minimum limit on file
descriptors be raised to at least 256 for safety.
