Hi Bruce.  SpamAssassin could be the culprit.  Two questions.   One,
are you running spamassassin or the spamd/spamc combination?  It
should be the latter.  Two, do you have it set up *not* to process
messages greater than a certain size?  That is recommended, even for
the spamd/spamc combo, as processing large messages can hog the
system. 

Cheers,
Dave.
