These URLs are both good, but that isn't the problem.

This has been broken for some time. Even though it may not die, it
doesn't update. The current problem appears to be that there is no DNS
TXT record at all for emails.msupdate.greylist.bastionmail.com.

See the thread at
<http://lists.mailscanner.info/pipermail/mailscanner/2013-June/100818.html>.

The patch at
<https://github.com/MailScanner/MailScanner/commit/fc0e52d55b0b2ec7e9834f21d4349894103aeb7f>
will work around this problem.
