I gone through http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RuleUpdates 

Below is my version..
SpamAssassin Server version 3.2.5
  running on Perl 5.8.8
  with SSL support (IO::Socket::SSL 1.31)
  with zlib support (Compress::Zlib 2.024)

I have two directories.. under /var/lib/spamassassin
3.002005  3.003001

But when I list the directories then it shows that the last update was done
on 24th July 2010. I am wondering  that since 24th july  there is no update
from SA.

Please someone clarify..

Yes, it's called sa-update, and you should be running it daily from cron.

Not as often as it should be... :)

We're working on that.

Welcome aboard! Suggestion: read through the last few months of the SA 
list archives. You'll get a feel for the common questions (and common 
answers) and get an introduction to some of the players.
