SpamAssassin FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 0.0 rule bug

[cPanelDon]

When I run either:

sa-update -D

or

/scripts/autorepair spamd_y2010_fix

I get this error:

http: request failed: 500 Can't connect to spamassassin.kluge.net:80 (Bad hostname 'spamassassin.kluge.net'): 500 Can't connect to spamassassin.kluge.net:80 (Bad hostname 'spamassassin.kluge.net') 
channel: could not find working mirror, channel failed

Suggestions?

Use the following command to check the contents of a file containing a list of mirrors:

# cat /var/lib/spamassassin/3.002004/updates_spamassassin_org/MIRRORED.BY

If only the failing mirror is listed, try adding an alternate. Here is a an example set of entries containing two usable mirrors:

# test mirror: zone, cached via Coral
#http://buildbot.spamassassin.org.nyud.net:8090/updatestage/
http://daryl.dostech.ca/sa-update/asf/ weight=5
http://www.sa-update.pccc.com/ weight=5

It is also possible to simply replace the existing file with a fresh copy from an available mirror; the following two steps may be used to accomplish this (via root SSH access):
Step 1.) Change directory, then move (backup) the existing file

# cd /var/lib/spamassassin/3.002004/updates_spamassassin_org
# mv -v MIRRORED.BY MIRRORED.BY.backup

Step 2.) Download a fresh copy using one of the following commands:

# wget -N http://www.sa-update.pccc.com/MIRRORED.BY
# wget -N http://daryl.dostech.ca/sa-update/asf/MIRRORED.BY

I patched mine by hand.
