Is there a command that I can use to upgrade spamassasin?

It seems that even with a low threshold of 5.0, lots of spam still goes through.

What should I do?

If you are using a catchall email I suggest disabling it. This will stop up to 90% of spam.
 
I am using catchall, but it doesn't solve the problem that these kind of spam doesn't get filtered.
 
chatwizrd is right :
disable catchall

then upgrade to exim 4.63

make some specific acl in exim
test : sender dns mx hostname helo reverse

and use dnslists (rbl's) which include
bl.spamcop.net : sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org : list.dsbl.org

make all these rule reject mail (deny/drop)
 
SpamAssassin with a reject value of 5.0 isn't going to reject spam with a total score of only 3.4 no matter what you do :) .
