I don't think there is a way to check what the current active settings are for amavisd-new (nothing like postconf -n) - including all defaults - unfortunately. We can of course check our own settings with something like: grep -r "warn" /etc/amavis/conf.d|grep -v "\s*#"
The defaults that I am aware of are: $warnbannedsender = undef; $warnbadhsender = undef; $warn_offsite = undef; $warnvirusrecip = undef; $warnbannedrecip = undef; $warnbadhrecip = undef; I presume this means there are no warnings issued unless these variables are set explicitly, and this isn't the case with ubuntu (or I think debian) standard installations? Are you sure that warnings are being issued by amavisd-new on your system?
