Is amavisd-maia running?  Does restarting amavisd-maia fix the problem?
.....amavisd reload is working perfectly fine, it reloads perfectly fine. no
issues in that

Is there anything interesting in the amavisd-maia logs?  If not, try
increasing the $log_level to 5 in your amavisd.conf file and restart
amavisd-maia, to see if any more details are exposed.
....amavisd log dosent show any thing the error is occuring after postfix's
probe_transport is through, the system is able to verify the recipient from
final MTA but after that i think it halts at amavisd.


Are you doing sender validation in your downstream Postfix instance?
This should be done only in the upstream instance.
..... No sender validation is active

If amavisd-maia is hanging, you may be running too many (or too few)
amavisd-maia processes.  Experiment with the $max_servers setting in
your amavisd.conf file, matching it to the value you set in your
master.cf file for the smtp-amavis section.  Restart amavisd-maia and
Postfix after making any such changes.
....amavisd is not hanging at all it starts very smoothly


Are you the only admin for this server, or could another administrator
have made some configuration changes recently?  You may wish to find out
what (if anything) may have been altered recently by other admins, or
whether a software update was performed automatically.
.... I am the only administrator to the system, and no automatic updates are
recently applied.
