Good thought, but no -- it still happens with SpamAssassin turned off.
And it happens when I'm looking at web pages as well as doing email.
The following errors coincided with a perfectly successful visit to
Ebuyer's web page:

I even get this:

Presumably there's nothing wrong with that machine.
Running 'host' or 'dig' from the command line works fine, but causes
messages in the log. For example, 'dig @gloria bbc.co.uk' (where gloria
is the name of my server, the one with the errors), gives the correct
results, but sends this to gloria's log:
named[13605]: FORMERR resolving 'bbc.co.uk/A/IN': 195.74.96.34#53
named[13605]: FORMERR resolving 'bbc.co.uk/A/IN': 195.74.96.35#53
gloria named[13605]: unexpected RCODE (SERVFAIL) resolving
'bbc.co.uk/A/IN': 195.74.96.173#53
gloria named[13605]: FORMERR resolving 'bbc.co.uk/A/IN': 195.74.96.20#53
