Hi,

After reading your original post carefully, getting properly backported
package for spamassasin may be what you are looking for.

I said "You may be lucky." This means no sane person will run "mission
critical system" on "unstable system".  They should be running stable
version just with security fixes.  If they need some newer version, they
should make backport version for related packages.

Also, "backport" does not mean simply getting package from
testing/unstable and putting into stable by using "dpkg -i".  (Yes,
sometimes this trick may work for some simple script package if the
script is written with care.  I have seen some package maintainer
accepted patch from me to make the package works for any version.)

Cheers.

Osamu

PS: For Desktop machine or test server of hobbist, unstable is fun.
