It is not configurable.

See http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/amavisd-new-docs.html
-> performing mail checks
-> acting on mail checks results
But you are right, the spam checking is done (in current
versions)
despite a message bening banned for all recipients (note the
two
commented-out statements - preceeded by a '#'):
# consider doing spam scanning
if (!$extra_code_antispam) {
do_log(5, "no anti-spam code loaded, skipping
spam_scan");
} elsif ( virusname) {
do_log(5, "infected contents, skipping
spam_scan");
# } elsif ($banned_filename_all) {
# do_log(5, "banned contents, skipping
spam_scan");
} elsif (!grep {!$_->bypass_spam_checks} {$msginfo->per_recip_data}) {
do_log(5, "bypassing of spam checks requested for
all recips");
} else {
You may uncomment these two statements to get the behaviour
you want.
I'm not exactly sure why I decided it was better to still do
the
spam checking despite having a banned message. I believe the
reason
is that it is valuable to know (when checking the logs and
quarantine)
whether a message can *also* be regarded as spam, so there
is no need
to double-guess wheter a messages was perhaps a banned
false-positive
and whether it is worth checking it and releasing it.
