Oh, you're right. On the machine not showing a spam score, the log shows:

Jun 12 23:58:42 osiris amavis[5815]: [ID 702911 mail.info] (05815-08) 
spam_scan: not wasting time on SA, message longer than 204800 bytes: 
326+312287

That makes sense. The primary MX gets much more traffic than then backup 
MX, but I was hoping that Amavisd-new would not bother running spam 
tests on something clearly generated by itself.

This got me looking in my /var/amavis/.spamassassin directory where I 
noticed that all these files hadn't been updating since I upgraded to 
BerkeleyDB4 from BerkeleyDB3, including auto-whitelist. I've deleted 
those files and restarted Amavisd-new. I need to watch this for sometime 
and see what is happening.

Thanks for your insights. You've helped kickstart my brain (:
