My oldest server has 5.8, and it's a really out of date box.
My newest out-of-date box has 5.8.8-36 (opensuse 10.2).
Antispam and email is a fast changing technology (compared to other server
things like file and print and http), so I see no reason why people should try
to adapt an old system to todays needs. I don't keep email servers around for
more than three years, and that's pushing it. A lot has changed in three
years, in every aspect, volume of email/spam, software, antivirus, processing
demands, storage demands, etc... If a mail server is more than three years
old, it's likely overdue for a lot more things than just a spamassassin
update.
