Which is simultaneously:

1. True
2. Normal
3. Neither a cause nor symptom of any operational problem.

Hm, I got an email from cron:

---8<--
/etc/cron.daily/spamassassin:
error: unable to refresh mirrors file for channel updates.spamassassin.org, 
using old file
channel: could not find working mirror, channel failed
sa-update failed for unknown reasons
---8<--


After losing some hairs it turned out that there are no problems in DNS, no 
problems in my network.
/etc/cron.daily/spamassassin changes UID:GUID to debian-spamd:debian-spamd 
during run.
But /var/lib/spamassassin/ was owned by root:root :-(

Sorry for all the noise,

Rainer


On the other hand, FireFox reports:
This site can’t be reached

updates.spamassassin.org’s server DNS address could not be found.
Go to http://spamassassin.org/
Search Google for updates spamassassin org
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

{o.o}   God never promised us only one problem at a time.
