--- Comment #1 from RW <rw...@googlemail.com> ---
Is there a reason it needs one? It has a TXT record:
$ dig +short mirrors.updates.spamassassin.org. txt
"http://spamassassin.apache.org/updates/MIRRORED.BY"

--- Comment #2 from Karsten Bräckelmann <gu...@rudersport.de> ---
It does not need an A record, it is not an actual machine.
DNS is used as a mechanism to distribute update information. TXT records are
used for bootstrapping (see comment 1) and actual version / rules revision
information with the SA version encoded in reverse as the host name.
$ host -t TXT 0.4.3.updates.spamassassin.org
0.4.3.updates.spamassassin.org is an alias for 2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org.
2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org descriptive text "1588424"
Closing RESOLVED INVALID, aka "not a bug".
