I assume you provided the "upgrade" option on the command line? You can install multiple versions of the same package if you're not careful. This should do it: rpm -Uvh *spamassassin*3.2*.rpm > I look in /etc/mail/spamassassin and all the 3.1 files are still > there along with 3.2pre file.

You should know what custom rules you've installed. They should be copied somewhere safe and/or checked into revision control (learn RCS. live RCS.) and should be easy to reinstall if needed. It won't hurt to uninstall all of the SA RPMs and reinstall just the latest one.
