It works for me.

The two DNS lookups that failed aren't supposed to work anyway. If
the problem persists try this:


$ host -t txt   mirrors.updates.spamassassin.org
mirrors.updates.spamassassin.org descriptive text "http://spamassassin.apache.org/updates/MIRRORED.BY"

$ host -t txt   0.4.3.updates.spamassassin.org
0.4.3.updates.spamassassin.org is an alias for 2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org.
2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org descriptive text "1588424"
