It turned out NOT to be a spamassassin problem (whew!) I think it was hardware-related. I had been running spamassassin on the Cyrix-120 box I use as my firewall (bad idea, I know) and have been in the process of getting another box on-line for running servers and other such stuff (besides, spamassassin on a 120 MHz machine is s*l*o*w). After migrating it over to the new box (1.2 GHz Celeron), the problem went away. It was strange, however, since the same machine had run spamassassin for a few months without problems until yesterday.
