Running "sa-update -D" returns these messages: dbg: channel: attempting channel updates.spamassassin.org dbg: channel: update directory /var/lib/spamassassin/3.003002/updates_spamassassin_org dbg: channel: channel cf file /var/lib/spamassassin/3.003002/updates_spamassassin_org.cf dbg: channel: channel pre file /var/lib/spamassassin/3.003002/updates_spamassassin_org.pre dbg: channel: metadata version = 1418219 dbg: dns: 2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org => 3.3, parsed as 3 dbg: channel: current version is 1418219, new version is 3, skipping channel dbg: diag: updates complete, exiting with code 1 Does this mean that SA believes that my local ruleset version is 1418219 (which matches what I see in updates_spamassassin_org.cf), while the ruleset available for download is version 3? Am I perhaps experiencing DNS issues? If you run dig -t txt 2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org do you see: ;; ANSWER SECTION: 2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org. 3600 IN TXT     "1423347" BTW, I'm using dev-perl/Net-DNS-0.700.0, so the thread "sa-update don't update" of 2012-12-13 probably does not apply?
