Yes, if it takes longer than 30 seconds for MTA to respond
with
a greeting to a connect from amavisd, then amavisd gives up
and logs a 'Negative greeting: '.

Timeouts are hard-wired for the moment in amavisd:

  my($smtp_connect_timeout)   =  30;
  my($smtp_helo_timeout)      = 300;
  my($smtp_xforward_timeout)  = 300;
  my($smtp_mail_timeout)      = 300;
  my($smtp_rcpt_timeout)      = 300;
  my($smtp_data_init_timeout) = 120;
  my($smtp_data_xfer_timeout) = 180;
  my($smtp_data_done_timeout) = 600;
  my($smtp_quit_timeout)      =  10;  # 300
  my($smtp_rset_timeout)      =  20;

Rather than fiddle with amavisd, it would be better to find
out why Postfix is so terribly slow to respond.

It could be a DNS issue, Postfix tries to do a reverse DNS
lookup
for 10.0.0.3, and it seems it does not get an answer.
Fix your internal DNS resolving for starters (or disable
DNS check in Postfix on a re-entry port, as a desperate
measure).
