To clarify Jerzy's reply: yes, this is expected behaviour. Mail bomb protection works like this: it protects decoders and virus checkers from trying to decode recursively. You get "NOTICE: Virus scanning skipped: ..." in the log, virus scanning is NOT done(!), and if the setup allows it, mail header field: X-Amavis-Hold: WARNING: possible mail bomb, NOT CHECKED FOR VIRUSES is inserted, and if $defang_virus is true a mail body is wrapped in and extra MIME layer. These two mail modifications are only possible in certain setups, like in a dual-MTA setup (common with Postfix, possible with other mailers including sendmail, see README.sendmail-dual). In case of sendmail milter setup, mail body replacement is not supported ($defang_virus has no effect). Regarding the insertion of mail header, this should work with Petr Rehor's amavis-milter as Jerzy noted, but not with the old amavis-milter that comes with amavisd-new package, because the old protocol (AM.CL) between amavis-milter and amavisd does not understand header modifications, but the new AM.PDP protocol does.
