I find that SpamAssassin takes many weeks to decline in effectiveness after a new release - for a long time I was running a very old release and it was fine. If you are able to write your own rules, or just adjust the existing scores to your spam, you should be fine. The rules are still important even when the Bayesian classifier is in use, because messages scoring over (by default) 15 are used to 'autolearn' spam - without useful rules you would need to spend some time telling SA which messages are spam.
It is very rare that someone manages to get a spam past SA these days, at least with my custom rules.
