As was pointed-out to you, this is a well-documented, deliberate design

the mail backs-up in the MTA or passes through without spam
classification.

Furthermore you eventually discovered yourself that Evolution was
invoking spamc with error codes turned-on.

No, three newly-registered people, who hadn't read the man page either,
agreed with you. It wasn't in the least bit controversial otherwise.
