What's that message i received via mail?

 

[Maarten.]

Something went wrong with the sa-update (spamassassin update).

Check the log for error(s): /var/log/sa-update.log

I got the same message from 2 different servers running Debian 9 today.

Searching the forums I came across this thread: Resolved - SpamAssassin daily update cron exited with return code 4

The output of the /usr/bin/sa-update; echo $? command is this:

config: invalid regexp for __URI_TRY_3LD 'm,^https?://(?:try(?!r\.codeschool)|start|get(?!\.adobe)|save|check(?!out)|act|compare|join|learn(?!ing)|request|visit(?!or|\.vermont)|my(?!sub|turbotax|news\.apple|a\.godaddy|account|support|build|blob)\w)[^.]*\.[^/]+\.(?<!list-manage\.)(?:com|net)\b,i': Variable length lookbehind not implemented in regex m/(?i)^https?://(?:try(?!r\.codeschool)|start|get(?!\.adobe)|save|check(?!out)|act|compare|join|learn(?!ing)|request|vi.../
channel: lint check of update failed, channel failed

It semms that the __URI_TRY_3LD rule has wrong regexp?

@Akrolis : Debian 9 is a lil bit old - one years ago i updated to Debian 10. I would do the same thing in your case if your server is in public and not used for a private intranet...

Yep, they're both internal servers (actually it's just one server and its clone). Since you didn't state the enviroment in the opening post I thought maybe it was related to my old OS, assuming you were on Debian 9 too.

Yes, we've had the e-mail today too (forum sig for our setup etc). This has happened, a few times in the past (there's a few more similar / same content previous threads...) but the eventual outcome in all, has always been the same: i.e. a SpamAssassin update to the related OS in question. If you run the cron manually:
# sh /etc/cron.daily/60sa-update There's no visible error and/or email. If you run # /usr/bin/sa-update; echo $? Yes, you'll get that same cause being specified.
Guessing that somebdy from Plesk may comment on this soon - unless - it was a glitch, which will be cured at source, overnight, as has happened with the Grafana extension in the past). We'll all know for sure, after tomorrow's e-mails

@learning_curve : Thank you for your feedback.

Good morning
well, the problem persists, it did not disappear overnight or someone from Plesk commented.
The question still remains, how do we solve the problem?

 

[learning_curve]

Perhaps it's no real surprise... But the e-mails are indeed continuing Maybe @IgorG can add more to the solution?

The issue is related to this issue in SpamAssassin. The bug is not yet finally solved (see last comments there).

Cool! As per my ealier post #6 then but it's a great help to us all, that you've dug even deeper and posted the current SA related fault. Thx!

Hi,
it seems that the problem has been fixed by Spamassassin, my update went through without errors.
Feb 20 19:43:57.862 [1973] dbg: diag: updates complete, exiting with code 1

 

[Akrolis]

Same here, can confirm the bug is fixed. Feb 20 & 21 got: updates complete, exiting with code 0.

 

[jmar83]

Today, same issue after updating to...

Betriebssystem: Debian 10.11
Produkt: Plesk Obsidian 18.0.42


It sucks, it really really sucks!!!

 

[jmar83]

Seems to be solved now, due to an update... (?)

 

[Maarten.]

It's a SpamAssassin issue. These kinds of sa-update errors happen all the time. Most of the time, these issues will resolve themself if you wait a few days.

 

[jmar83]

OK thx
