It's a spamassassin update & the site is temporarily busy, it probably gets thousands of update requests every day.

I've been seeing several failure messages from the sa-update cron event every night for the last 3 or 4 days. Its not hitting all the servers I monitor, but either the traffic is very high or the site has a problem of some sort. Last night alone, I had 5 failure messages from different servers.

:) I came on to check if others were seeing the same failures....

Paul.

It will self correct in time, be patient. It's out of your control anyway.

That's not a "temporarily busy" issue - it clearly says "404 Not Found". I expect the problem is an out-of-date mirror site.

Google for "daryl.dostech.ca 404" finds these:
