recommendationI think you need to edit this file:
/etc/mail/spamassassin/channels
And make it match mine (see my first post, or take 'mirrors.' out of each hostname). There is no associated template, so you need to edit the file directly.
Whether this works or not, there is stil a question of how/why your spamassassin channel file acquired incorrect settings.
backgroundI re-ran the manual update this morning from my previous post:
HOME=/var/lib/spamassassin
cd $HOME
/usr/bin/sa-update --gpgkeyfile /etc/mail/spamassassin/gpgkeys --channelfile /etc/mail/spamassassin/channels -v
Today I get this result (convincing me that my system is successfully finding the update channels):
Update available for channel sought.rules.yerp.org
Update was available, and was downloaded and installed successfullySince I couldn't find any A record using nslookup for 'sought.rules.yerp.org' or 'updates.spamassassin.org', I looked up exactly how spamassassin looks for updates:
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/PublishingRuleUpdatesAccording to that page, sa-update reverses the spamassassin version number and prepends the result to each "channel" supplied when the command is run.
On my system, the channels (from
--channelfile /etc/mail/spamassassin/channels) are:
updates.spamassassin.org
sought.rules.yerp.org...and my spamassassin version (from
spamassassin -V) is 3.3.2
... so sa-update is looking for the latest rules version using:
# nslookup -type=txt 2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org
Server: ...
Address: ...#53
Non-authoritative answer:
2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org text = "1556147"
# nslookup -type=txt 2.3.3.sought.rules.yerp.org
Server: ...
Address: ...#53
Non-authoritative answer:
2.3.3.sought.rules.yerp.org text = "3302014010811"
However, when I try to look for versions using the hostnames you seem to have on your system, I get:
# nslookup -type=txt 2.3.3.mirrors.updates.spamassassin.org
Server: ...
Address: ...#53
** server can't find 2.3.3.mirrors.updates.spamassassin.org: NXDOMAIN
[root@office ~]# nslookup -type=txt 2.3.3.mirrors.sought.rules.yerp.org
