I have been grabbing the source rpm and running rpmbuild --rebuild on it
to get the latest version on a system.  

But I think you need to make sure you have the bayesian database enabled
and setup a scheme to use sa-learn to teach it spam that it misses.  If
you do this on a regular basis it will increase the score on spam it
missed.  You may also need to add certain entries to the local
blacklist.  

Keeping up with spam is an on going process.  There are no silver
bullets.  But spamassassin is a great tool for reducing spam. It won't
get rid of all of it but if you run sa-learn on a semi regular basis it
will keep its database updated and keep the missed rate down around 1%
or less.
