These don't necessarily indicated an inability to filter messages, but they are indicating an inability to talk to the DNS resolver on localhost with either IPv4 or IPv6. Is that the DNS server you expect spamassassin to be using? What's in `/etc/resolv.conf`? The symptoms seem similar to those reported in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1034347 noah
