Yup that was it.  Figured it out right before I read this.

Hello,

I recently setup a mail filter gateway on my gentoo machine by following this guide :

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/mailfilter-guide.xml

Everything worked great. I can send email from an external source and it is filtered and sent to my exchange server. However I am not quite sure if the SPAM filtering is working.

For now, I am trying to get amavis to use MySQL for policies and whitelisting and blacklisting per user. When I start the amavis debug I get :

ANTI-VIRUS code    loaded
ANTI-SPAM  code    NOT loaded

Does that mean that nothing in the MySQL database is being used then because SPAM is not working?

I know that amavis is at least connecting to the database ok and pulling a policy, because of this in amavis debug (after I send an external email) :

connect_to_sql: trying 'DBI:mysql:maildb:localhost'
connect_to_sql: 'DBI:mysql:maildb:localhost' succeeded

Where can I start to troubleshoot this problem? Is it a spamassasin problem? or and amavis problem?

Thanks,
Matt

Assuming spamassassin is installed, have you looked in amavisd.conf to
see if you have disabled spam scanning?

# @bypass_spam_checks_maps  = (1);  # uncomment to DISABLE anti-spam code

I see this in the example:

map { $bypass_spam_checks{lc($_)}=1 } (qw(
        postmaster@
        abuse@
));

Try commenting this out. You can set these in your SQL database.
