The first thing to do any time you're troubleshooting SpamAssassin is
run something through it with the -D flag set, and read the output, *all
of it*, very carefully.  There's a crapload of information in there and
it's easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer volume, but if you scroll
through it, the answer is very often right there in front of you.

For what it's worth, it smells very much like a networking or DNS issue
to me.

Good luck!
