SA Update Failed

  • A

    Typically MDaemon runs its daily maintenance and cleanup at midnight.  You can adjust it to be any hour of the day you'd like by going to Setup / Preferences / System.  

    If you want something that gives more control, you should be able to run SA-Update using something like Windows Task Scheduler.

    The maintenance and cleanup starts at midnight, but our server is starts SA-Update at this times everyday: 

    Wed 2025-02-12 01:26:35.581: -------------  Starting SA-UPDATE --------------

Tue 2025-02-11 01:26:07.147: -------------  Starting SA-UPDATE --------------

Mon 2025-02-10 01:26:38.867: -------------  Starting SA-UPDATE --------------

    Sometimes Spamassasin updates are not published at this times.  Is there a way to run SA-Update with a .SEM file?

    You can create an UpdateSA.SEM file in the MDaemon\app directory to initiate a spam filter update.

    I'll try this solution and configure a task in the Task Scheduler.

    Spamassassin updates are working well now. The automatic update of 01:30am worked without updating, there were no updates.

    Task scheduled at 07:30hrs has successfully updated Spamassassin.

    Feb 14 07:30:15.464 [8004] dbg: channel: metadata version = 1923721, from file C:\\MDaemon\\spamassassin\\default_rules\\updates_spamassassin_org.cf

    Spamassassin makes this DNS query to know if there is a new version. The TXT value is the version, TXT value is compared to what is saved in file updates_spamassassin_org.cf.
