You have a few choices;
1) Remove RPM and install from CPAN and take your chances.

2) Remove RPM and use Julian's spamassassin and ClamAV install bundle, which
he updates regularly. This also gives you the benefit of the clam module for
clamav, it is quite a bit faster and seems to have less system load.

3) Use an alternate repo for the spamassassin, and turn off spamd manually if
the RPM enables it.
