I have the same problem when I run the sa-update.
Has the original poster (or someone else) managed to make it work?
What do you get when you try
$ dig 5.2.3.updates.spamassassin.org txt
If that times out, then you have a dns problem of some sort
Indeed, it times out - I had only digged the general
5.2.3.updates.spamassassin.org, not with txt.
I have changed the DNS servers on my router to http://www.opendns.com's
ones, but even though it seems to be correctly configured, I can't pass the
dig timeout. This happens only if I add "txt" to the dig command, without it
it works. Do you know why, how to solve it or perhaps just help me
understand why it fails only with txt ?
Without going too far into tinfoil-hat mode, is it possible that your
ISP is intercepting your DNS requests to opendns?
