It shows it was installed as a package, but I can't find the "rpmbuild"
command.

"rpmbuild -tb" says to build a binary RPM from a tarball.  So:

rpmbuild -tb Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.3.tar.gz

will build the RPMs from the named tarball.  Depending on your
environment,
you may need to be root and the packages may appear under
/usr/src/redhat.

The download page also mentions the '--define "srcext .bz2"' option
which you
need if you download the bz2 tarball instead of the gz one.
