I once had a problem with updates because of blocking POLICY category in suricata IPS…just an idea.

Thanks Markus for this hint. Will check it when back at work on Monday.
Have a nice w.e.

@mrmarkuz it isn’t suricata.

I found this, when I try to update manually --debug:

/usr/bin/curl -L -O --remote-time -g --max-redirs 2 --connect-timeout 30 --max-time 300 --fail -o 3402014020421.tar.gz -- http://rules.yerp.org.s3.amazonaws.com/rules/stage/3402014020421.tar.gz

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden

Other updatechannels (heinlein-support.de) seems working.
If I remove the sought.conf from /etc/mail/spamassasin/conf.d sa-update works.

EDIT: I found that sought ruleset is no longer active and shouldn’t be used. (since 12/2016)
