Another case for my magic eye. Maybe I will find it some day.

Some times they come trough. Spamer react on filters. 

Do you use network tests? Spamer changed the servers frequently.

I have upgraded three server fom 2.63 to 3.0.x. Normaly there are only small 
changes in the configuration for now unsupported options.

The ammount of reconfiguration depneds on your installation.

Some is necessary.  Shouldn't be a huge amount.

You need to muck with the assorted local.cf options that have changed name
and/or shape.
If you have a NATed host, you need to set up trusted networks.  (You should
have had it before, but  it is important now.)
You need to make sure that all of the spare Perl parts are the appropriate
versions.

And if you are running SARE rules, you will need to fiddle around a little
bit and make sure that you have a rule collection that is appropriate for
3.0+.

Of course you should run lint to make sure things are really working, and
probably also run spamassassin -D to make sure that all of your rule files
are getting picked up.
