Perhaps the interface that calls your Sophie isn't finished yet using the
child process.
I'm using Amavisd-new and Sophie and when I want to kill it, I only kill the
main
daemon and restart it again.  All the child process will eventually die
after some idle
time.

It could be that the Sophie is scanning an unknown virus.  As far as I know,
the
MTA should queue all incoming mails and will not let any mail pass without
being scanned by the antivirus.

Good luck.
