Thanks! I hope you will apply it. Let me know if you will so I can release 0.71
with the other issues resolved (DKIM etc).

For smoothest transition I think it would be best to first update
mirrors.updates.spamassassin.org, and then wait for one hour (the TTL of the
records) before updating <version>.updates.spamassassin.org. That way you are
sure that if an sa-update gets a new version number from DNS, it can also get
the url for fetching MIRRORED.BY.

If you alter them at the same time you have a small risk that a resolver still
has the old value for mirrors.updates.spamassassin.org in its cache whilst the
<version>.updates.spamassassin.org is updated causing sa-update to fail with:

  error: no mirror data available for channel updates.spamassassin.org
  channel: MIRRORED.BY file location was not in DNS, channel failed

Best regards, Willem Toorop
