ScamNailer update STILL not working

ScamNailer gets the information about current data by doing a DNS lookup
of a TXT record for emails.msupdate.greylist.bastionmail.com. For over 6
weeks, this has been returning "emails.2013-164.6", i.e. week 16, day 4
update 6. It is currently week 23, day 0.

I posted a patch at
<http://lists.mailscanner.info/pipermail/mailscanner/2013-May/100746.html>
that works around this by guessing the current update, and it seems to
work for me, but contrary to Matt Hampton's statement at
<http://lists.mailscanner.info/pipermail/mailscanner/2013-May/100694.html>,
the underlying issue of the TXT record for
emails.msupdate.greylist.bastionmail.com not being updated is NOT FIXED.

Does anyone care?
