We have the following spamassassin RPMs installed:

spamassassin-debuginfo-2.63-art.rh9.9
spamassassin-tools-2.61-4
spamassassin-2.61-4
psa-spamassassin-7.0.4-rh9.build040723.13

I see that there is spamassassin-3.0.1:

/atomic/psa/9/RPMS/spamassassin-3.0.1-2.rh90.art.i386.rpm


What is the best way to update spamassassin?

Are there any gotchas vis-

yum can do it, just run: yum update

No, it does not:
