Check the RBL services you have listed with "Spam List =" and check that
the services you're using are still operational and that you're able to use
them.

One thing worth pointing out that is noted in the comments of
mailscanner.conf:

# MAPS now charge for their services, so you'll have to buy a contract
before
# attempting to use the next 3 lines.
#Spam List = MAPS-RBL, blackholes.mail-abuse.org.
...

Other than that you might have a DNS problem of some kind.
