SA 2.63 upgrade

What I have seen is people recommend not using the RPM. I have not seen a
reason for that. This is why I am asking. I have not had a problem using the
RPM since I started using MS a few months ago, until this update. My
original install of SA was via RPM files and I have used them to do updates
since. I had SA running without MS at first and added MS with clamAV some
time after.
I do not know what is going on with the current version of SA but some
scanning is being done as I get some spam flagged like this:
X-CfMC-MailScanner-SpamCheck: spam, SpamAssassin (score=17.565, required 5,
BigEvilList_108 3.00, BigEvilList_79 3.00, FORGED_OUTLOOK_TAGS 1.10,
J_BACKHAIR_12 1.00, J_BACKHAIR_13 1.00, J_BACKHAIR_15 1.00,
J_BACKHAIR_22 1.00, J_BACKHAIR_35 1.00, J_BACKHAIR_42 1.00,
J_BACKHAIR_51 1.00, J_BACKHAIR_53 1.00, TW_BF 0.08, TW_BT 0.08,

TW_WZ 0.08, TW_XV 0.08, TW_YZ 0.08, TW_ZT 0.08, TW_ZW 0.08)
but only a very few non RulesDuJour rules are being triggered.
I think I have successfully disabled bayes but that has not changed things.
I updated SA yesterday at about 8AM. As you can see the "caught" spam has
fallen off since then:
