The last set of messages suggests you may have older unnoticed
problems which have caused amavisd to die leaving folders behind in the
temporary directory. If this goes unobserved and unattended, it can
result in /tmp filling up, which will stop amavisd from running
successfuly thereafter because it can't unpack emails.
If /tmp is memory and swap-backed, having it fill up may cause
further problems depending on the OS. (FreeBSD handles it fine, but I
haven't run Solaris in ages.)
Now that you've restarted the server, keep an eye on the amavisd tmp
directory. It should never have more directories than needed for the
mails it is handling at the moment. If the number of directories there
start growing, check your amavisd logs to see what is going wrong -
before you run out of space!

"My own personal theory is that this is the very dawn of the world.
We're hardly more than an eyeblink away from the fall of Troy, and
scarcely an interglaciation removed from the Altamira cave painters. We
live in extremely interesting ancient times.
I like this idea. It encourages us to be earnest and ingenious and
brave, as befits ancestral peoples; but keeps us from deciding that
because we don't know all the answers, they must be unknowable and thus
unprofitable to pursue." -- Teresa Nielsen Hayden, 1995
