Yes, but wrongly so. This is bug #137229

Evolution can work without SpamAssassin, and arguably _should_ do in the
common case; the MUA isn't the right place to filter spam. 

IIRC the only reason the Evo package requires SpamAssassin is because
its error handling is broken in the case where it _does_ try to use SA
but it's not available.
