Cron has been receiving this for months apparently.

Hi list,

Cron has been receiving this for months apparently.

/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

How do I sort this please?

TIA

John

Run sa-update -D and see if that has anything more useful in it.

Check if you have wget and/or curl.

There were old versions of curl that could not fetched the MIRRORED.BY
file on https.  We exempted it a few days ago since we didn't consider
it a risk.
