Also a SQL log may be useful for that purpose.

I don't see a problem there. Multiple instances of amavisd can use
the same SQL database: transactions are used, SQL server ensures
locking, and amavisd ensures that generated mail-id keys are unique
across all records currently in a database, regardless of how/where
they were generated. If there is a contention on a tentative attempt
to enter a record in a database, amavisd generates a new random
mail-id and re-tries repeatedly. Releasing from a common quarantine
can be done by any amavisd process with an access to a database.
