Have recently converted my system from running amavisd-new for virus
scanning with spamass-milter for spam to using amavisd-new for both spam
and virus. Seemed to be working great all weekend but I have noticed
something very odd this evening, and am hoping someone might have an idea
what is happening.

The majority of the messages are being tagged by amavisd-new with both
X-Virus-Scanned: and X-Spam-Status: however I would say about 10% of the
messages (which are unquestionably spam) only have X-Virus-Scanned: and no
trace of having been waved at spamassassin. If amavisd-new is handling both
the anti-virus and spam scanning, how can a message get virus scanned but
not get spam scanned?

Any suggestions appreciated!

Cheers,

Most likely these recipient domains which don't get X-Spam-Status
are not listed in your @local_domains_maps.
