I'm seeing this problem also, in Evolution 2.4.0-0ubuntu3.  When I view the
process table while Evo is filtering mail, it has a "perl spamassassin" running,
rather than "spamc".  The spamc is in /usr/bin/spamc and there is a system wide
spamd running.  It is supposed to find spamc on the path... the logic in
plugins/sa-junk-plugin/em-junk-filter.c may be incorrectly deciding that the
system-wide spamd is not running when it is.

I think this bug is important, since people have been complaining that Evo is a
lot slower in spam filtering than it used to be, in Hoary.  Something has broken
since then, apparently.  It used to run it's own copy of spamd, and often left
one behind after exitting.  That was bad also.  On a single user system, that's
probably the right arrangement, provided it kills the spamd when it exits.  For
a multi user system or one that recieves mail, perhaps a system-wide spamd is best.
