This is a 'feature' of some systems, like GFI.
One reason for doing this might be:
User a@domain.com sends email (through amavisd-new) to
b@notherdomain.com
b@notherdomain.com replys back (with content from original email) and
domain.com's amavisd-new blocks it as spam. 

(it happens)

First, you woeuld have to send all email out the same box amavisd-new.
Second, I would suggest using the AWL feature, OR, maybe look at the
reply-to or reference of or whatever headers from the original email
(then it doesn't have to send out the amavisd-new system)
