This message is normal.

You need to investigate what happens next. Turn up log level to 5,
then when some process starts eating CPU again you will have a chance
to examine what it was doing last (grep amavis log on pid).
Find the PID of the looping process (don't kill it yet),
use lsof -p <pid> to see what files it has open, steal the email.txt
from its temporary directory to be able to examine what message
it was procesing. You may also try running strace (or truss) on this pid
and see what system calls it is doing (if any), before killing it.

Looks fine.
