You are right, these two $sa_spam lines have nothing to do with the
amount of SQL log detail.

If you are referring to the trailing space after '***SPAM*** '
I expect because you have the text ***SPAM*** in your
policy.spam_subject_tag and policy.spam_subject_tag2 that, as I just
found out, the trailing space is trimmed off when using MySQL version 4.1
or older. I think the fix would be to put these two fields back to
NULL in that particular policy and then amavisd-new would use the
string in $sa_spam_subject_tag instead (with the trailing space
intact).

You mean DO_SYSLOG = 0; ?
If you set DO_SYSLOG = 0; then amavisd-new will log to a file. I think
the file would (should?) be just as detailed. It is best to define the
file in amavisd.conf and also make sure your amavisd-new user can write
to the file (chown it to your amavisd-new user/group). I'm not sure,
but if the file does not exist, you may have to touch it first.
$LOGFILE = "$MYHOME/amavis.log";
Maybe this *was* working this way when you had DO_SYSLOG = 0; but you
were looking in the wrong log file? Or maybe you *were* looking in the
right place, but the detail was not there. If that is the case, I have
no answer.

When logging at level 5, I have noticed it appears to make no
difference on some systems, but on others it does. I don't doubt
it depends on settings in /etc/syslog.conf.

Mark,
BTW amavisd.conf-sample says:
#$SYSLOG_LEVEL = 'user.info'; # (facility.priority, default 'mail.info')
but in amavisd:
$SYSLOG_LEVEL = 'mail.debug';
