updates.spamassassin.org gone?
Hi,
for at least the last 2 days, updates.spamassin.org does not resolve anymore:
~$ host updates.spamassassin.org.
~$
But note:
~$ host nonexistent.spamassassin.org.
Host nonexistent.spamassassin.org. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
~$
Meaning: no updates for SA anymore?
Rainer

OK, my fault.
I saw cron's error mail and thought that there could be a DNS problem.
Now I've learned from all of you that there is no problem at all. False alarm.
If I call the cron job directly, it works:
root@mx1:~# /etc/cron.daily/spamassassin
root@mx1:~# echo $?
0
root@mx1:~#
So, I do not understand why cron threw an error, maybe something was broken in my network at this time.
Thank you all,
Rainer

Which means the name has no A record, but does have other records and/or subdomains.

However:
$ host -t txt 2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org
2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org descriptive text "1799552"
$ host -t txt 3.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org
3.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org descriptive text "1799552"
$ host -t txt 0.4.3.updates.spamassassin.org
0.4.3.updates.spamassassin.org descriptive text "1799552"
$ host -t txt 1.4.3.updates.spamassassin.org
1.4.3.updates.spamassassin.org is an alias for 3.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org.
3.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org descriptive text "1799552"
$ 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 "1799552"
> Meaning: no updates for SA anymore?
That's quite a leap of illogic...

Which is simultaneously:
1. True
2. Normal
3. Neither a cause nor symptom of any operational problem.

On the other hand, FireFox reports:
This site can’t be reached
updates.spamassassin.org’s server DNS address could not be found.
Go to http://spamassassin.org/
Search Google for updates spamassassin org

After losing some hairs it turned out that there are no problems in DNS, no problems in my network.
/etc/cron.daily/spamassassin changes UID:GUID to debian-spamd:debian-spamd during run.
But /var/lib/spamassassin/ was owned by root:root :-(

Yeah, I knew it was one of those apt-something commands which I wish aptitude

Right. This also suggests you're not using Jessie-backports at all, otherwise
3.4.1 would at least be a candidate, even if not installed.

~$ ssh mx1 apt-cache policy spamassassin
spamassassin:

If you're just using plain Debian 8 Jessie, you have 3.4.0
If you're using Jessie-backports as well (and have deliberately installed the
backports version of this package) then you have 3.4.1
"apt-get policy spamassassin" should show you which one really is installed

1. What is the reason to expect the name "ns1.apache.org" to have any
DNS records?
2. Using "all" as the final RRTYPE argument (or any other word beginning
with 'a' except "any") is interpreted by 'dig' as a request for an A
record. If you think it does something else, look closely at the
"QUESTION SECTION" of the output.

There shouldn't be an A record, and there literally can't be a (valid)

Both DNS txt lookups worked, all the HTTP downloads failed. If the
script has worked in the past, and nothing has changed, it was most
likely just a temporary networking problem.

That's odd. Nothing has changed in DNS for almost 2 weeks so that
shouldn't have happened. Can you post the contents of
/etc/cron.daily/spamassassin so we can see what it's trying to run?

Run 'spamassassin -V' and report back with the version.
You can also run 'sa-update -vvv' to see more information on what it's
looking for.

Hm, I got an email from cron:
-------8<------
/etc/cron.daily/spamassassin:
error: unable to refresh mirrors file for channel updates.spamassassin.org, using old file
channel: could not find working mirror, channel failed
sa-update failed for unknown reasons
-------8<------
This is a (to my best knowledge) stock Debian Jessie. So the Debian package maintainer is to blame here?

afaik updates.spamassassin.org does not need to be resolvable
The two important records for updates exist and resolve:
$dig mirrors.updates.spamassassin.org txt +short
"http://spamassassin.apache.org/updates/MIRRORED.BY"
$dig 0.4.3.updates.spamassassin.org txt +short
"1799552"

Done!

As David says, we use TXT and CNAME records not A records. We did switch to cnames which broke sa 3.3.0 update resolution but that was fixed.
We know rulegen is turned off but rule distribution is working.
This means you can install SA and use sa-update to get current rules.
And they are current because there are not a whole lot of rules being generated and Dave was able to get a current rule set with the old scores manually published.
And my firm has put a lot of time into this which is still half the time David has in fixing ruleqa. So buy him a beer. But no need for alarm.
Right now though I have switched back to 3.4 work as my priority for the week.
You can also grab KAM.cf which isn't in the stock rules.

The DNS zone doesn't have an A or CNAME record for
updates.spamassassin.org. Sa-update uses a TXT record under this zone
to detect when an update is ready to be downloaded and applied.
$ dig +short 1.4.3.updates.spamassassin.org txt
3.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org.
"1799552"
FYI, we are currently holding at version 1799552 until I/we can figure
out what is going wrong with the build of 72_scores.cf. I have spent
many hours trying to figure out what is going on so far and have
pinpointed where the problem is but haven't found the exact cause yet.

There have not really been updates since March due to server migration and
such. Hopefully soon again.
