No.  'program' is optional and is ignored if it doesn't exist.

Your original configuration didn't contain a spam action, either  
sending via e-mail or reporting via a program.  That's why nothing  
happened.  You obviously can't mark a message as spam unless some  
system actually processes the spam report.
