We currently have a fedora core 2 server running Sendmail, SpamAssassin

I'd like to upgrade to the newest version of SA 3.1.0 I'm aware that
some of the user prefs and local.cf will need changed afterwards. The
problem I'm having is the instructions for the SA website say to use
yum install spamassassin but when I run that it tells me I have the
latest version. Do I need to manually download and install SA 3.1.0
using the alternate options (perl makefile.pl etc).
FC2 is supported by the Fedora Legacy project, so you need to add that repo
to your yum config. But I don't think SA has been updated in Legacy.
Instead, you should get the tarball from the SA website and build it using
the indicated rpmbuild command. Then install the resulting binary RPM.
To avoid running rpmbuild as root, chown the directory tree /usr/src/redhat
to the user you want to run rpmbuild as:
chown -R randomuser.randomuser /usr/src/redhat
Then run rpmbuild:
rpmbuild -tb Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.0.tar.gz
Now install the binary that results:
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/spamassassin-3.1.0-1.i386.rpm
(Check the output of rpmbuild to see what binary RPM's are created and
available to be installed.)
