@local_domain_maps (and its SQL lookup component) have no effect
on whether spam tests are run or not. It only affects inserting
of X-Spam-* header fields (along with some other decisions).

The bypass_spam_checks controls whether spam tests are run or not.

It does by itself. A SQL lookup method is prepended automatically
to the @local_domain_maps list of lookup methods when SQL is enabled.

Leaving out the 'local' field from the database usually does what
is desired automatically, provided that all local domains have
their record in table 'users'.

Another possibility is to have NULL in the 'local' field, which
lets a lookup mechanism proceed the search with the next method
in the list, i.e. with statical lookups tables in @local_domain_maps.

But it looks it's not the local_domain that you are after.

It's mainly the README_FILES/README.lookups that deals with it.
Admittedly it is not written from the user's perspective.
