Not to worry, they were retained in a MTA queue and resent on a next
MTA retry.

If it happens regularly you should investigate and fix the cause.
Check the logs. Otherwise, just do what Jernej suggested:

| the right procedure would be to identify the reason for preserving 
| tempdir. Otherwise I believe stopping amavisd-new, cleaning tempdir
| and starting amavisd-new would be just fine...

Keep in mind that one set of these directories with temporary files
is always present when amavisd is running - each process dwells
in one of these directories.

Shutdown sometimes does not remove these directories. As long
as they are not too numerous, just delete them every once
in a while. With amavisd stopped all of them may be deleted.
With amavisd running, make sure not to delete directories
which are curently in use. There is no automatic procedure
to delete leftover directories. They may be useful as evidence
of past problems.
