Yes and no. To have sendmail & spamassassin be on different machines you do need to use some kind of "intermediary" agent to connect them but it does not have to be spamc. There are several sendmail "milter" daemons that can be used to connect sendmail to spamd. They can use Unix domain sockets for direct local connections or they can use TCP sockets to connect to other machines. The "milter" daemon effectively replaces spamc, it acts as a bridge, speaks sendmail-milter protocol on the front side and SA-spamd protocol on the backside to connect the two systems. Check out 'http://spamlinks.net/filter-server-addon.htm#sendmail' for a list of sendmail anti-spam milters. Some of them are for other kinds of anti-spam filtering engines but some of them are for connecting to SA.
