spamd Down - "No rules were found!"

koonpete · Feb 26, 2020

Hi there,

Overnight our server's spamd went down and all attempts to restart have failed. Upon checking the spamd_error_log, the error messages were:

Code:

config: no rules were found!  Do you need to run 'sa-update'?

I've ran /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/perl/530/bin/sa-update but still got an error:

Code:

no mirror data available for channel updates.spamassassin.org
channel 'updates.spamassassin.org': MIRRORED.BY file contents were missing, channel failed

I've checked my server's resolv.conf and it is set to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Would be great if you guys can provide any suggestions on resolving this issue. Thanks!

What's the output of the following:

Code:

/scripts/update_spamassassin_config

Also are there any errors in the update logs from last night? /var/cpanel/updatelogs

It seems like the server won't resolve spamassassin.apache.org.

cPanelLauren · Feb 27, 2020

it does appear that your server is unable to resolve spamassassin.apache.org - I found the following from their own forums that might be helpful: SpamAssassin - Users - error: unable to refresh mirrors file for channel updates.spamassassin.org

Code:

[[email protected] templates]# dig any spamassassin.apache.org +short
95.216.24.32
40.79.78.1
2a01:4f9:2a:185f::2
"v=spf1 a:mail.apache.org -all"
10 mx1-ec2-va.apache.org.
10 mx1-he-de.apache.org.
20 mx1-lw-us.apache.org.

You might ensure you can reach the A and/or AAAA records listed. The user in the forums there noted that they had a firewall rule blocking one of the IP's

I ran:

Code:

dig any spamassassin.apache.org +short

and added all these IP addresses in whitelist (including the hostnames displayed). Except my server cannot ping to mx1-he-de.apache.org
Could that be the cause of this problem?

It could definitely be, you might stop your firewall momentarily and see if this is resolved when it is not running, this would rule out the firewall blocking it.

I did not do anything. This morning everything started working automagically. Ping is back to mx1-he-de.apache.org , I assume this was not from our side. But I can confirm the reason was the lack of connection to one of the MXs.

cPanelLauren · Mar 6, 2020

I'd lean more toward it being a network issue, I was able to connect from my test server yesterday without issue. I'm glad to hear that it's working this morning though.
