Really? I checked the manual and it specifically states that for the production of a planet to accrue to your empire, it must have a spaceport built on it. Which one is it? Because if you're right then I've been wasting my effort all this time in building a space port on each planet in every system. This news would certainly change things.

Are you referring to page 11 where it says:

"In fact whenever you colonize a planet in a new system you must first build a spaceport on that planet to allow your empire to share the goods made in the nascent system with your other systems."

This is not well phrased. You must have ONE spaceport in a system to get the resources delivered to your empire. It doesn't hurt to have a spare on another planet in case of accidents and attacks, but you do NOT need one per planet. He should have said it differently. Maybe "The first order of business in a newly colonized system should be to build a spaceport somewhere so that resources generated in this system will be available to your empire."
