Today, I tried something different :

  . comment @bypass_spam_checks_maps  = (1); in amavisd.conf, thus getting the
     default as stated in amavid, which is

     @bypass_spam_checks_maps = (
      \%bypass_spam_checks, \@bypass_spam_checks_acl, \$bypass_spam_checks_re);


  . assume that spam checks won't be launched even if I commented
    @bypass_spam_checks_maps since my amavisd.conf states

    $sa_mail_body_size_limit = 1; # don't waste time on SA if mail is larger
    # default: undef, no limitations

Although amavisd launch succeeded then, as a side effet I got many messages
returned with 

  Subject: Considered UNSOLICITED BULK EMAIL, apparently from you
  >From: "Content-filter at [...]

So I reverted to the solution described in my previous message.

Conclusion : 
------------

it seems to me that :

  . amavisd miss somewhere the "import" of the Amavis::SpamControl package (I
    don't see such import anywhere)

  . @bypass_spam_checks_maps  = (1); doesn't bypass everything since 

     $spamcontrol_obj = Amavis::SpamControl->new  if $extra_code_antispam;

   is still executed.

  .  $sa_mail_body_size_limit = 1; isn't enough to fully bypass spam engine since some
     messages where marked UBE.

Thanks
