Switch to amavisd-new. It integrates MUCH better with postfix than amavis-ng
in my experience (using postfix -> LTMP over tcp/ip -> amavisd-new/spamassassin 
-> SMTP -> postfix).  That's why I started co-maintaining it for Debian :)

Looks like a sieve-generated message?  Are your sieve scripts correct, the
other Received: lines are missing, and the content-type is very strange
(empty?!)...

These things are 'atomic', you can't get an email 'before sieve could
process it' :)

Anyway, that is quite a weird failure mode I've never seen before.
