Thank you … I don't see it that way in my log; I have the following below … I'm
assuming that the last three lines coming from updates.spamassasin.org
show the version on the update server, and that I'm matching, therefore no
update?
Also, how come I can't do a DNS lookup of updates.spamassassin.org ?? Is that
the FQDN of the update server?
Thanks
David

You cannot do a DNS lookup of just "updates.spamassassin.org", that's an
intermediate component of the name you want to use.
You must prefix it with your SA's verion number in reverse order.
EG: your SA is SpamAssassin version 3.3.2
So you need to look up the TXT record for
"2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org"
# dig -t txt +short 2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org.
"1655961"
Note those last 3 lines of your debugging output, you see the DNS query, the
value it returned 1655961, and the fact that the current verion you already
have is 1655961, thus no new version to get, so "skipping channel" -> "updates
complete"
