The daily spamassasin cron is failing because localhost is an

        /etc/cron.daily/spamassassin:
        unresolvable name: localhost at /usr/bin/sa-update line 432.
        sa-update failed for unknown reasons

But, I can perfectly ping it (and by the way, resolve it):

that means nothing, ping is using /etc/hosts
mailsoftware is using DNS

[harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ nslookup localhost
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53
Name:   localhost.rhsoft.net
Address: 127.0.0.1

[harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ nslookup 127.0.0.1
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa  name = localhost.

is this a new setup and when yes let me guess you are using your crappy providers DNS server instead a proper own recursing DNS - when so then fix that now before we have the next URIBL_BLOCKED thread

        alarig@nemee:~$ ping localhost
        PING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

        rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.029/0.029/0.029/0.000 ms

Does anybody already met the issue or know how to fix it?
