The 2.55-3 source package builds fine on a vanilla Woody machine. (In fact, the unstable "spamassassin" binary package would install fine on a vanilla Woody system, too, except it has an apparently unnecessary dependency on "spamc" which depends on the unstable C library.)
I wouldn't call spamc unnecessary; spamassassin is a serious resource consumer, and starting a new copy for every message is a pretty easy way to crush your machine. Running spamd, and using spamc from procmail is much much lighter, and you're less likely to have 10 messages arrive at the same time and DoS your mail server.

Installing the unstable binaries on a woody system will pull in unstable libc etc., which is a bad thing. Therefore use Adrian Bunk's backports:
