Actually, the documentation says:

    -i [*ipaddress*], --listen-ip[=*ipaddress*],
--ip-address[=*ipaddress*]
        Tells spamd to listen on the specified IP address (defaults to
        127.0.0.1). If you specify no IP address after the switch, spamd
        will listen on all interfaces. (This is equal to the address
        0.0.0.0). You can also use a valid hostname which will make
spamd
        listen on the first address that name resolves to.

So if you specify -i without an argument, it is not ignored.  It tells
spamd to listen on 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1.  On at least some
systems this makes a difference; for example, on Solaris systems if you
are trying to connect from a different machine.
