 Yes, this does not work as intended with milter because the milter client
 adds the header. You need to modify amavis-milter.c accordingly.

 It is used in conjuntion with the "warn_offsite" option. If you don't want
 to send virus notifications to non-local recipients (i.e. if a local user
 sends out virus email), amavis needs to know which domains are local. The
 list of local domains is specified with @local_domains.

 It describes a type of amavis setup with sendmail only. Historically,
 amavis replaced the local mailer, so that only incoming mail was scanned,
 and setups that scan all mail (e.g. a mail gateway) were labelled "relay".
 See README.sendmail. You can completely ignore this option with milter.

 With all official amavis releases, the notification texts are part of the
 amavis script. See INSTALL for information how to customise them at
 configure time. You can also edit the generated amavis/amavisd script
 directly. No real-time modification yet.

 Have you tried the patches from http://www.amavis.org/contrib/ ?
