Problem with TXT records for ScamNailer and bad_phishing_sites updates

The update processes for ScamNailer and update_bad_phishing_sites depend
on DNS TXT records for the domains
emails.msupdate.greylist.bastionmail.com and
msupdate.greylist.bastionmail.com respectively giving data about the
current updates.

At present, these TXT records don't exist (there are still SPF TXT
records, but not the updates ones).

We saw a similar issue last year when the bastionmail.com domain
registration expired, and it just expired again on 17 June 2014, but was
apparently renewed on 18 June.

There are workaround patches at
