Thank you for your response. I didn't know it!

dig gives me "895075" and with sa-update -D I found that I was looking 
in to the wrong directory (/usr/local/share/spamassassin instead of 
/var/db/spamassassin/3.002005/updates_spamassassin_org) so the rules 
seems to be updated fine.

Sorry for the noise.

Just one question - where can I find the domain or IP from where updates 
are fetched?
