Yeah, sorry about that, but it looks like ISPConfig3 does configure
amavisd-new to use SQL with a custom database and custom queries. In
the dbispconfig database, spamfilter.policy table, the default
spam_tag_level is set to 3, so only spam that scores over 3 will
include X-Spam headers. This can be modified of course so that all
local mail will get tagged. I'm going to assume that if the recipient
is in the database, and spam filtering is enabled for the user, that
the user is considered local. This is how you might change the
policies:

Log into mysql:
mysql -p

and set spam_tag_level for all 7 policies to -999
UPDATE `dbispconfig`.`spamfilter_policy` SET `spam_tag_level` = '-999';
