Given you state below no spam has been identified yet, you're confusing
terms.

SA tests for spam. Thus a positive result is "classified spam", and "not
spam" is a negative test result. True means the result is correct,
whereas false indicates a mis-classification by the test.

False (mis-classified) negatives (rated not-spam) are spam, which SA
failed to classify spam.


If you prefer, refer to them as missed spam, or (in)correctly classified
ham and spam.

No, that is not normal. In fact, since no spam has been identified at
all yet, there is something really broken or mis-configured.

I suggest to start a new thread (no reply) about this. For starters,
we'd need details about your environment and how you set up SA. Plus
some X-Spam-Status headers of ham and (missed) spam.
