Spamassissin is not in volatile, it is only in proposed-updates see:
http://volatile.debian.net/debian-volatile/dists/sarge/volatile/Contents-i386.gz
The README.txt says:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The -proposed-distributions are _not_ for real usage. Uploaded
packages enter them without further checks, and they may subsequently
be rejected (and removed from the archive). So, if you use them, you
risk to end up with unrecommended packages.
