Have tried upgrading Spamassassin 3.2.5 to 3.3.1 and the result was a disaster. Currently have the spamassin* of one version and perl-Mail-spamassassin* of another.

Precisely how did you go about upgrading? If you upgrade using a different method than SA was originally installed (e.g. 3.2.5 was installed from RPM and 3.3.1 was installed from CPAN) then you will likely have problems.

Running "rpm -e spam*" I get the following error:

error: package spamassassin-3.2.5-1.x86_64.rpm is not installed
error: package spamassassin-3.3.1-1.x86_64.rpm is not installed

I want to get spamassassin OFF completely and go back to 3.2.5 which I know works

How can I accomplish this?

At this point, since your system doesn't have a working SA at all, I'd suggest you uninstall all SA packages and go straight to 3.3.1

And, as was pointed out, "rpm -e {fileglob}" doesn't work because the fileglob returns filenames, _not_ package names.
