FWIW, Dale's been mailing me privately where I've been answering, but just for everyone's info:

"rpmbuild -tb" says to build a binary RPM from a tarball. So: rpmbuild -tb Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.3.tar.gz will build the RPMs from the named tarball. Depending on your environment, you may need to be root and the packages may appear under /usr/src/redhat. The download page also mentions the '--define "srcext .bz2"' option which you need if you download the bz2 tarball instead of the gz one. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "He's cut so many fish that he can't even go to the beach for fear of retribution." - Alton Brown, Good Eats, "Hook, Line & Dinner"
