spamd[19777]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /usr/local/share/spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: lock failed: Interrupted system call
Um, why's it trying to create a bayes database in /usr/local/share/spamassassin/ ??

That's *DANGEROUS*.

DO NOT point bayes_path there.. DO NOT set any user's home directory to /usr/share/spamassassin.

This *WHOLE* directory gets obliterated without prompts or warning when you upgrade. It should contain nothing but the distribution provided rulesets. Nothing else.
