What is broken is the TXT DNS record for 
emails.msupdate.greylist.bastionmail.com
which should tell you what version the scamnailer configuration is at. The 
downloads from the server eg.
http://cdn.mailscanner.info/emails.2012-252
http://cdn.mailscanner.info/emails.2012-252.15
will still work. As a temporary measure I am hardcoding the version into a 
hacked copy of the ScamNailer eg. adding
   $currentbase="2012-252";
   $currentupdate="15";
after the
die "Failed to retrieve valid current details\n" if $currentbase eq "-1";
line which I have commented out. If I run this hacked script I can update 
the ScamNailer configuration.
