Check the place that check_spam is called from.  Is there any condition
there to control what classes of mail it applies to?  If not, you
could add one either there or at the top of check_spam so
that it does not check mail you don't want checked.
As you've described it, "inbound", that's slightly tricky; for
a first try I'd suggest "destination not external".
The condition for this would be
    domains = <domain list>
(or the inverse), and you need to put your names in the list, e.g.:
      domains = fred.isphosting.example.com : special.fred.isphosting..example.com


If you're placing this to control the call of check_spam it'll look
something like:
...
    warn  domains = fred.isphosting.com : special.fred.isphosting.com
    acl = check_spam
...


If you prefer to put it inside check_spam, then:
...
# Check local-dest spam only under 80K
check_spam:
accept !domains = fred.isphosting.example.com : special.fred.isphosting.example.com
# put headers in all messages (no matter if spam or not)
warn message = X-Spam-Score: $spam_score
condition = ${if <{$message_size}{80K}{1}{0}}
...

Is your spamd running and correctly configured?
Do you get proper numbers on the mail received?
