Hi Guys I have a strange thing on (about) 25th June this year my 3 Mdaemon mail servers mysteriously stopped doing SF updates The system log shows (this for the last 3 weeks)
Fri 2017-07-14 12:13:56.645: Starting spam filter update... Fri 2017-07-14 12:13:56.646: * Running SA-UPDATE... Fri 2017-07-14 12:14:00.429: * Files are current Fri 2017-07-14 12:14:00.430: ---------- Where normally the third line shows something was updated . I wrote to Mdaemon (Alt-N) and they just wrote back and said you guys do not update every day and sometimes don't update for months (yeah right) This I find hard to believe as I am used to seeing a SF update everyday (pretty much) I cannot believe that the spammers are taking summer/winter holidays ! I have been hunting around and keep being pointed to "updates.spamassassin.org" is this supposed to be a site/place on the internet ?? because it does not exist I CAN NOT find it. No DNS Am I right to assume there is no update channel out there? Hence my SA-update procedure is just coming up with the I am happy message because it cannot see it's source.? I have been patiently waiting for you guys to come back online ........ wondering surely someone has noticed ?? I see you have been making updates everyday data is going in and new files are made but nothing is coming out to the needed places (or at least in my neck of the woods) Did something change on 24-25th June? I just find it weird that all updates stopped simultaneously suggests that the whole world is cut off from the SA data updates. Have you guys been wasting your time for 3 weeks making updates that nobody is getting? Cheers (and greetings from little Norfolk Island) PS Thu 2017-06-22 12:13:59.053: Starting spam filter update... Thu 2017-06-22 12:13:59.054: * Running SA-UPDATE...

I am only working for one more hour today then back on Monday so no real rush. Just would like to stop wondering what is happening/not happening. -- ô¿ô ~ [cid:[email protected]] Alan Summerscales | Knowledge Management (IT) Customer Care Division Norfolk Island Regional Council PO Box 95, Norfolk Island 2899 | New Military Barracks, Kingston, Norfolk Island T (+6723) 22001 (ext. 132) | M (+6723) 50645 www.norfolkisland.gov.nf<http://www.norfolkisland.gov.nf/> Integrity | Communication | Accountability | Respect | Excellence IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING CONTENT The views expressed in this e-mail are not necessarily those of the Norfolk Island Regional Council unless otherwise stated.
