The process seems to be frozen, I had that problem only once with
amavisd, it was due to a bad program used in decompression. That may
explain why your "parts" grows a lot.

Incoming Mail -> Amavisd (decompression) -> SpamAssassin -> ClamAV

If the problem is linked to a faulty decompression, amavisd locks the
process and the "parts" directory is never cleaned up. Try to restart
amavisd /etc/init.d/amavisd restart and take a look in the maillogs. The
decompression programs found are listed at startup by amavisd.

LZO,RAR,UNZIP,LHA...

Quick'n'Dirty solution but that may do the job.

One last question, which version of TSL is running your amavisd and what
is the amavisd-new version ?

Kind regards
