This is the crux.

Should look something like:

Jun 17 16:27:40.311 [30240] dbg: dns: servers obtained from Net::DNS :
[127.0.0.1]:53,...

What does your /etc/resolv.conf look like?

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 194.168.4.100
nameserver 194.168.8.100
You should likely be running a caching nameserver but that's a nit.

Net::DNS is unable to read your resolv.conf it appears.  Are you using
selinux or anything like that?

I'm far from certain that those are DNS servers

$ host 194.168.4.100
100.4.168.194.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer
cache1.service.virginmedia.net.
$ host 194.168.8.100
100.8.168.194.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer
cache2.service.virginmedia.net.
$

Martin, Good call. They certainly don't work for me but some ISPs restrict to their range. Try adding server 8.8.8.8 to use Google's server as a test.

nslookup
> server 194.168.4.100
Default server: 194.168.4.100
Address: 194.168.4.100#53
> www.pccc.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Then install and use a local caching nameserver. It will fix lots of issues before they occur with a SpamAssassin installation and RBLs, etc.
