I recently had to entirely re-IP a network including the server running
Spamassassin. When I run sa-update, it just hangs at the command prompt
with a flashing cursor; same thing happens when I run sa-update -D but
only after it calls the updates.spamassassin.org channel...

 

Checking my firewall logs, it appears sa-update is calling the wrong LAN
IP of our Windows DNS server (I understand SA-UPDATE runs updates
through DNS). I guess my question is where does sa-update cache or
obtain this DNS address? Was it captured during the original nmake
process? All other DNS requests from clients and or software resolve DNS
queries just fine; no other DNS issues on this network...I was unable to
find any reference to this IP in the sa-update.bat file.

 

Running Spamassassin 3.2.5 on Windows Server 2003/Exchange 2003.
