dns:2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org => 3.3 1786853, parsed as 3

I've noticed that my rules are not updating anymore. 

I'm on SpamAssassin 3.3.2 

So I get this error; 

dns:2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org => 3.3 1786853, parsed as 3 
current version is 1786853, new version is 3, skipping channel 

I've tried googling the error, checking the SA website ... but can't find any discussion of this. 

If I do a DNS lookup of: 

2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org	canonical name = 3.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org 

DNS then can not find 3.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org; tried some off-site DNS lookups, and they too can not find 3.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org 

While I see on the SA website that 3.3.2 is no longer being updated or supported, I see nothing about the rules not being updates.    Maybe I’m missing something in my search?

Wow … thanks for the response … and thank you for all the time you are putting into getting this working again.

Sorry about that.  I am working on getting the rule update scripts
working again on our master server.  I think I know what is going
on so I should be able to revert my changes to get 3.3.2 sa-update
working again.  It must not be able to handle the CNAME like newer
versions of sa-update can.

From what I can tell, all versions of SA 3.3.0 and above are compatible
with the same rules so I was hoping to only have to do rule validation
against a single version 3.3.3 and set the DNS TXT record for 3.3.3.  It
appears I am going to have to adjust the script slightly to also set a direct
TXT for 3.3.2 and not use a CNAME like newer versions of sa-update
support.

BTW, I hope to have the rules updating very soon so we can continue
with the ruleqa processing and scoring updates.  I know there are a
couple of rule updates needed so I am working very hard and many
hours to get this going as soon as possible.
