Quite a bold statement without any check on my background.

Nope, it is not. *sigh*  It seems some of the "test-cases" added here by all of
us are partially using spamc global configuration that affects the test.

>From the spamc man-page about EXIT CODES:

  "By default, spamc will use the 'safe fallback' error recovery method.
   That means, it will always exit with an exit code if 0, even if an
   error was encountered.  If any error occurrs, it will simply pass
   through the unaltered message."

With the -x, --no-safe-fallback option set, for the given test-cases, spamc
will return 0 *only* with at least one byte on STDIN and without the erroneous
-U "". It will complain with exit code 69 or 74 in any other mentioned
test-case.

This is the documented and desired (read: agreed upon to be default) behavior.
If anyone desires something else, the man-page advices him how to set global
spamc configuration and change it to his heart's content.

Test-cases provided to show spamc falsely reporting "no error", whereas it
allegedly should have, are based on not taking the complete documentation and
default settings into account.

Please feel free to not simply take my word for it, but actually try it
yourself.
