This package is obtained from EPEL and follows the Fedora/RedHat FHS layout. 
The init script sets the configuration file explicitly at:

#prog="/opt/amavisd-new/sbin/amavisd"
prog="/usr/sbin/amavisd"
prog_base="$(basename ${prog})"

prog_config_file="/etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf"

and the program is run by:

case "$1" in
  start)
	action $"Starting ${prog_base}:" ${prog} -c ${prog_config_file}
	RETVAL=$?
	[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/${prog_base}
	echo
	;;

I am fairly confident that I am working on the right configuration file.

I keep thinking that there is something about SPF and Spamassassin which is
influencing this matter but I have no clue as to why I have that sense.  But,
as Amavisd is what handles the header writing, I have to deal with the issue
here.
