--- Comment #1 from Bill Cole <bi...@apache.org> ---
When you run simply "dig updates.spamassassin.org" you are making a query for
an A record. There is not now and never has been any A record for
updates.spamassassin.org, nor is there any record of any type for the bare name
'updates.spamassassin.org.' The  sa-update scrip[t does not make any query for
the bare name 'updates.spamassassin.org.'

The useful records for checking whether sa-update is failing due to DNS trouble
are TXT records for the 'mirrors' and reverse version number subdomains of
updates.spamassassin.org. So, if you are running SA v3.4.2:

# host -t txt 2.4.3.updates.spamassassin.org
2.4.3.updates.spamassassin.org is an alias for 3.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org.
3.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org descriptive text "1850529"

# host -t txt  mirrors.updates.spamassassin.org
mirrors.updates.spamassassin.org descriptive text
"http://spamassassin.apache.org/updates/MIRRORED.BY"

I do not recognize the specific error you are seeing from sa-update, but you
can see more details by running "sa-update -D" which will report the
step-by-step tasks being done. Feel free to re-open this bug if that in
formation does not reveal an y easily fixed problem.
