There is a serious bug in SA rules with handling of "FH_DATE_PAST_20XX
The date is grossly in the future"
http://spamassassin.apache.org/
"If your system is configured to use sa-update run sa-update now"
The problem is, that 'sa-update' is not working with default configuration.
Domain updates.spamassassin.org is not resolvable.
# host updates.spamassassin.org
Host updates.spamassassin.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
According to http://just-dnslookup.com it is not my local resolver problem.
Are there any usable mirror or another trusted channel to be used by
sa-update?

updates.spamassassin.org isn't a DNS host record so it is expected
that your lookup will fail.
The following should, however, work:
dig 5.2.3.updates.spamassassin.org txt +short
Try running
sa-update -D
to see why its failing.

Gary

Thank you for your response. I didn't know it!
dig gives me "895075" and with sa-update -D I found that I was looking
in to the wrong directory (/usr/local/share/spamassassin instead of
/var/db/spamassassin/3.002005/updates_spamassassin_org) so the rules
seems to be updated fine.
Sorry for the noise.
Just one question - where can I find the domain or IP from where updates
are fetched?
