Which OS are you running ?
Do you have this problem when you run this commend too ?
# openpkg rc amavisd restart
And when running this one (without the implicit sleep )
# openpkg rc amavisd stop start

>  Anyone seen this before? What can I do to prevent this from happening?

in /kolab/etc/rc.d/rc.amavisd, you could try to increase the sleep
time, here sleep 2

%restart -u root
    rcService amavisd enable yes || exit 0
    rcService amavisd active no && exit 0
    rc amavisd stop
    sleep 2
    rc amavisd start

Please tell us if increasing the sleep time as solved your problem ?
If this is a problem with the socket option "reuse_address"
you should use a sleep time > 30sec  maybe more.
