sa-update error 3 no mirrors.sought.rules.yerp.org

[atat]

Hi,
I'm getting this from cron since two days:
channel: no 'mirrors.sought.rules.yerp.org' record found, channel failed
11-Mar-2021 05:46:59: SpamAssassin: Unknown error code 3 from sa-update
ls /var/lib/spamassassin/3.004000/
sought_rules_yerp_org
sought_rules_yerp_org.cf
updates_spamassassin_org
updates_spamassassin_org.cf
rm -rf /var/lib/spamassassin/3.004002/
and then
sa-update -D
gives no errors,
but when I try to run cron job it takes a long time and does not finish:
/usr/share/spamassassin/sa-update.cron 2>&1 | tee -a /var/log/sa-update.log
 
Greetings,

Sought rules have been deprecated at least 5 years ago.
you can remove that part of the config.

The cron script contains a "sleep" function to randomise the time at  
which clients hit the servers for updates. You are running into the  
sleep when you run the script manually...

"Update: this is no longer active, and should not be used."

You've not stated your OS but on a RHEL/CentOS 7 box the correct way  
to remove is to go to /etc/mail/spamassassin/channel.d and delete  
sought.conf.
