Then try to find the source of the problem. amavisd should have no
problem connecting to the "next" smtpd. check all postfix logs for
possible errors. If you have too much mail, make sure your "last" smtpd
(after the filter) doesn't run too few processes compared to what you
receive. It is possible that your before-the-filter smtpd and amavisd
are too fast for the after-the-filter smtpd. This is rare, and if so,
you should find a real solution instead of a hack.

If you get more infos on what is happening, please post it.
