I think you are just doing DNS calls that are either invalid or look
like you are trying to do discovery through recursion. For example:
dig -t txt 0.0.4.updates.spamassassin.org [5] @ns2.pccc.com [2]
why is specific version needed ?, rules updates works imho with all
spamassassin versions if version is used in rule sets ?
Today that is true, but as ClamAV has discovered, old versions sometimes
behave badly in a way that can generate a lot of pain in the future.
Having requests already going to versioned URLs provides a lot of
options, for example, asking outdated versions to stay on outdated
rulesets:
0.2.3.updates.spamassassin.org. 3600 IN TXT "895075"
Which is better than feeding them a ruleset in a format that they won't
understand, and can't meaningfully use while the current release gets
new rulesets:
0.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org. 3600 IN TXT "1891700"
