Hm, thanks for *this* info!

I have an older version (June) and Robert may have as well.
I suppose something must have changed since then (e.g. retrieval of the 
hostnames like the scamnailer paackage does it?).

I get this output from running the script:
Reading status from 
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/phishingupdate/status
Checking that /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/phishingupdate/cache/2009
-503 exists... no - reseting..... ok
Checking that /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/phishingupdate/cache/-1.0 
exists... ok
I am working with: Current: 2009-504 - 0 and Status: -1 - 0
This is base update
Unable to retrieve http://www.mailscanner.tv/.2009-504 :500 Can't connect 
to www.mailscanner.tv:80 (connect: timeout)
Update required
Updating live file /etc/MailScanner/phishing.bad.sites.conf
cp: cannot stat 
`/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/phishingupdate/cache//2009-504': No 
such file or directory

and this leaves one without a phishing.bad.sites.conf as this has been 
moved to phishing.bad.sites.conf.old which will get eventually overwritten 
with an empty file on the next run.
