Looks like you are using Debian. You have to enable span scanning and
virus scanning because by default they are disabled. See the
directions in:
/etc/amavis/conf.d/15-content_filter_mode


# You can modify this file to re-enable SPAM checking through spamassassin
# and to re-enable antivirus checking.

#
# Default antivirus checking mode
# Uncomment the two lines below to enable it back
#

#@bypass_virus_checks_maps = (
#   \%bypass_virus_checks, \@bypass_virus_checks_acl, \$bypass_virus_checks_re);


#
# Default SPAM checking mode
# Uncomment the two lines below to enable it back

#@bypass_spam_checks_maps = (
#   \%bypass_spam_checks, \@bypass_spam_checks_acl, \$bypass_spam_checks_re);
