It's a recommendation based on the fact that Red Hat can be slow to update the SpamAssassin package so the version in rpmforge is invariably more likely to be current. Take now as an example, the distro version is 3.3.1 and rpmforge has the current 3.3.2 version in their extras repository. The changelog shows SA was updated to 3.2.2 on Wed Jun 22 2011 by rpmforge so at this point in time upstream (Red Hat) is at least 18 months behind. Based on the above information, hopefully you can make an informed choice that is right for you. Hope that helps.
