Dear Nick,

first thanks for your bug report the problem is already known (Debian bug #854180) and worked around in commit https://salsa.debian.org/haraldj-guest/amavisd-milter/-/commit/33e39f13387bc29e011ff1d55475c8ead3ca1dad.
The real fix was done by the upstream author to create the pipe before returning control to the init script but this fix is only available in version 1.7.0 of amavisd-milter. So my advice would be to either apply the fix from https://salsa.debian.org/haraldj-guest/amavisd-milter/-/commit/33e39f13387bc29e011ff1d55475c8ead3ca1dad which loops forever with a shorter delay time or to rebuild the source package from Ubuntu Hirsute Hippo which incorporates the fix.
For rebuilding the source package please look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bionic-backports/+bug/1905541 where I already documented the requirements. You may also request a official backport by creating a bug report at https://launchpad.net/bionic-backports but mine wasn't considered until now.
Again thanks for your report and your work I'm currently unsure what to do with your bug report as I don't know how to best fix this issue in a LTS release.

Kind regards
Harald Jenny
