SpamAssassin 3.2.4
It seems Dag already has a spec file and packages up: http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/spamassassin/

We have SpamAssassin 3.2.3 on our Plesk boxes. 'yum search spamassasin' shows rpmforge has 3.2.4 available, but 'yum update' doesn't say it's available for an upgrade. Strange. jpkelly, have you tried downloading the RPM from RPMforge and upgrading it manually? If so, what error did you get?

I just went ahead and tried it myself and to my surprise the 3.2.4 RPM from RPMforge installed just fine. I have no idea why yum did not see this update. Now, do I need to go and manually update all of our machines?

After I installed SpamAssassin 3.2.4 from RPMforge and ran 'yum update' again, yum suggests to update to SpamAssassin 3.2.3 from ART. I believe this is an epoch issue.

Don't use the -i flag, cause you'd end up with two copies of SpamAssassin! Use the -U flag (U is for Upgrade). (Most people add -v and -h as well, so you can see what's going on.)

ok i am pretty new at this rpm/yum stuff
yes it upgraded to 3.2.4 thanks!
funny thing as mentioned above: yum upgrade spamassassin now suggests "upgrading" to 3.2.3.
thanks again for the help!

It appears the 3.2.3 package uses an epoch number of 1, whereas the 3.2.4 package doesn't. Using an epoch number is a way to override the normal version number.
Also, don't forget to run service spamassassin restart after the upgrade or you'll still be running the 3.2.3 version of spamd.

RPMforge doesn't support FC5 anymore. You could try and download the source rpm yourself and try to rebuild it. But remember that FC5 is also no longer supported by the Fedora Project, so your server isn't getting any security fixes anymore. I'd look into migrating to an OS that is supported by its vendor. I highly recommend CentOS 5.
