procmail: Terminating prematurely whilst waiting for lockfile "sa_rdm.lock"

Wondering if the problems could be related.

They probably are.

What version of SpamAssassin?

Unless you've modified the scores, SA 2.55 (and earlier) is probably
making reference to several DNS blacklists that no longer exist, and hence 
taking many minutes to run because it waits 30 seconds for each of them
to time out.

I suggest upgrading to 2.60 if you haven't, running spamd with a limit on
the number of processes if you aren't, and (then) using spamc instead of
spamassassin in the .procmailrc filter.

Otherwise try "spamassassin -L" to avoid network-based tests.
