Would this not be far easier and more appropriate?

Doesn't your distro provide an easy way to search for / upgrade these
things?  (Why would you use a distro that doesn't?)


With ubuntu I'd do:

  apt-get update && apt-get dist upgrade

And have the latest versions of all the packages in the release I'm using.
If the current release doesn't have new enough packages, I'd run
do-release-upgrade, and it would upgrade everything to the next release.

Ubuntu had a spamassassin v3.3.2 package in May 2011.  It's in the archives
for the Oneric, Precise, and Quantal releases.  And I created an ubuntu PPA
providing daily spamassassin builds:
https://launchpad.net/~spamassassin/+archive/spamassassin-daily


And no, installing from source does not mean the distro CDs.  
(You could web search for:  installing from source.)
