It does more than that. The configure script pipes TWO messages through spamc: a "nice" message and a "spammy" message. It then checks to see that spamd (via spamc) recognises the first as NOT being spam and that the second IS spam. If any of those tests fail - then SA is broken. -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
