Second, you are getting blocked by URIBL.  This usually means you have
either a high volume of mail or you aren't using your own local caching
nameserver.

Volume should not be an issue. I get a few emails per hour. This is a
private email server. Since it is small, I don't have a local caching
nameserver. However, why would not having a local nameserver make a
difference between spamd via hMailServer and spamc?

Your volume is not the issue.  The issue is that the DNS server you are
using (probably from your ISP) is sending too many queries because it is
handling you and lots of other people.  If you set up your own DNS
server, then you only query URIBL for your own emails and you won't be
blocked.

I would prefer to stay out of the DNS server business if possible, but I
will study that as an option. I use google 8.8.8.8 which obviously is a
highly used one. A) is there a way to have SA use some other DNS only B) is
there a better DNS to use in general if A is not possible.

You can't really avoid using your own DNS server for URIBL lookups unless your ISP is really small. Pretty much any public or large-ISP DNS server is going to be aggregating enough traffic to exceed the URIBL free access limits.
