Perhaps the file utility is failing on the particular decoded part of the MIME encoded email. You may still have a directory in your amavis tmp directory (/var/amavis/tmp perhaps?) that ends with 18143. There will be an "email.txt" file and a "parts" sub-directory. Try running file on each component and checking the exit status of each. > > I run amavisd-new 20030616 on a debian sarge machine.
