I doubt that adding that line to amavisd will break anything; the
file type "Microsoft Installer" isn't used otherwise. Note that
amavisd must recognize the file(1) type to call the proper decoder -
the file name extension is intentionally ignored.
That said, it's certainly more appropriate to fix file(1) rather than
adding a workaround to amavisd.
To patch file(1), comment out the "Microsoft Installer" line in the
magic file, then run "file -m magic -C" in the same directory where
the magic file lives.
("file -v" shows the path to the magic file)
Or just wait for a updated version of file(1).
