Is there any way to run both the old 2.6.4 SA and 3.0.3 in parallel on the same machine?
If I rename the old spamassassin executable to, say sa-old, will it still work?
I want to switch, but will need to get Bayes up to speed before cutting over to the newer version for production.
I guess I could just hold a week's worth of email copies, and feed them through after I get it all working...
thanks,

I sorta run both on my system. However, I only use 3.x for masschecking. All I did was extract the source tarball to a directory, then make sure the user_prefs for mc override all the paths that typically point to /etc or ~/.spamassassin.
Heres an example of how I am launching spamassassin:
../spamassassin.raw --lint --prefs-file=./to-test/user_prefs --siteconfigpath=./to-test/fake_etc >lint.out 2>&1 # check for rules errors
Hope this helps.

PS:
By the way, I'm still running 2.60 (!!!) on debian and have easily 99% detection (probably more, but I've never run stats... it just works). I rarely get FPs as well and then typically in the questionable area (spam that I've "opted in" to from, for example, directv). I verify any spam below 10 pts, but even these are very rare.
I'm using: 70_sare_adult.cf 70_sare_bayes_poison_nxm.cf 70_sare_evilnum0.cf 70_sare_evilnum1.cf 70_sare_evilnum2.cf 70_sare_header.cf 70_sare_html.cf 70_sare_oem.cf 70_sare_random.cf 70_sare_ratware.cf 70_sare_specific.cf 70_sare_spoof.cf 72_sare_bml_post25x.cf 99_sare_biz_market_learn_post25x.cf 99_sare_fraud_post25x.cf antidrug.cf backhair.cf badstyles.cf bigevil.cf bogus-virus-warnings.cf chickenpox.cf redirect.cf tripwire.cf weeds.cf 99_local.obfu.cf 99_local.obfuonly.cf
Wow, thats a lot of rulesets! Also I'm using a patch from quite some time ago that checked where URIs were hosted and assigned points for that (eg: adds XX.XX points for hosted at "ChinaNet", XX.XX for hosted at "AboveNet")
