hi William --

check the resolv.conf configuration to ensure it's using a good
local nameserver; it may be hitting timeouts in SpamAssassin.

also, post the DNS debug logs... you may have to obscure the
blacklisted domain though.

Is this not a problem of Spamassassin not running network tests, because
it is a local message? Isn't there a commandline option to enable
network tests for a locally checked message?
