The decoding2-get-file-types section most likely points to
a problem with a file(1) utility. It could be that some
mail content is causing long processing time in file(1).

Try running the 'file' command on files found in one
of your preserved directories, such as:
  /var/spool/amavis/amavis-20051225T222829-27727/parts/
Make sure to do this as user vscan (amavis).

See that you have a fairly recent version of file(1).
The most recent seems to be 4.16
( ftp://ftp.astron.com/pub/file/ )
