AW: spam assassin rules update

We do have this issue, too.
I just removed the mirror from the file /var/lib/spamassassin/3.003002/updates_spamassassin_org/MIRRORED.BY and everything runs fine again.

There is an issue for this:

I just had this yesterday:

http: GEThttp://daryl.dostech.ca/sa-update/asf/1391368.tar.gz  request failed: 404 Not Found: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>404 Not Found</title> </head><body> <h1>Not Found</h1> <p>The requested URL /sa-update/asf/1391368.tar.gz was not found on this server.</p> <hr> <address>Apache/2.2.6 (Fedora) Server at daryl.dostech.ca Port 80</address> </body></html>

But I think this is a different issue.

Could you just set up your own cron job to run sa-update? I'm not sure 
of the typical configuration on CentOS but on FreeBSD I set up a script 
to run weekly (your path information will differ; test with the debug 
first).:

#!/bin/sh

PATH=/usr/local/libexec/ccache:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/root/bin

# Debug:
#/usr/local/bin/sa-update -D
/usr/local/bin/sa-update
