Being a production box, I'd suggest doing an upgrade to 3.0.5 instead of 3.1.0. This will fix the significant problems, but doesn't change any configuration options, requirements or APIs.. it's just a basic maintenance release, and in theory should go very smoothly with no hitches. Upgrading to 3.1.0 could be more work as some config items changed in the process. You can get 3.0.5 from the archive: http://archive.apache.org/dist/spamassassin/ You should be able to go through a normal procedure for installing SA to do the upgrade and you shouldn't need to change any configuration. Just untar it, perl Makefile.PL make make install Should be quite painless. The only problem I've heard with the 3.0.5 release is those who use rpmbuild to make custom RPMs from it have to fix the spec file (because they missed updating the tarball name in the specfile). However, if you're just installing from source this isn't relevant.
