the latest release.
I would like to update spamassassin, but how?
The rule for reliability is "update the way you installed" - if you
installed from your distro's repository, then update from there, if you
installed from CPAN, then update from there.
Unfortunately Canonical probably is _not_ going to provide official SA
3.3.x packages for Ubuntu 8.x, so you're likely looking at either finding
a third-party repository of Ubuntu 8.x packages that includes current SA,
or uninstalling the natively-packaged SA and reinstalling from CPAN -
which means updating SA in the future will be a manual process from CPAN.
Somebody else on-list may be running Ubuntu 8.x and can offer more
specific advice, or you could ask on the Ubuntu support groups/forums
about how to update to current SA on Ubuntu 8.x
