Spamassassin should still produce reasonable results even if BAYES
isn't working properly. If an installation is reliant on BAYES  then
you might as well replace it with a pure statistical filter, you'll get
better results with less resources. Unless the OP is holding back about
lots of extra spam that *is* being caught I'd say there are wider
problems beyond BAYES. Possibly the old 3.2.5 rulesets are even causing
the BAYES problem via poor autolearning.

My recollection is that most threads about scoring problems on 3.2.5
usually end-up with the observation that it wouldn't have happened on
3.3.x.
