Almost. Actually there is a configuration variable $path, set in amavisd.conf, typically to something like: $path = '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin'; It is just a default path, but each decoder/dearchiver can override it by explicitly stating the full path to a program. > Also does that apply to most > of the common extractors (arj, rar, etc.)? Yes, they are all using the same configuration principle. See file amavisd.conf-default in the distribution and search for @decoders. This @decoders list is the one which associates an external (or internal) decoding program (or internal routine) with each 'short file type', which is a short string like gz, tar, rar, ..., resulting from mapping a result of a file(1) utility through @map_full_type_to_short_type_maps. For backwards compatibility most decoders also have their own variable for specifying a program name (full absolute path or searched in $path). For example: $cabextract = 'cabextract'; or: $cabextract = '/usr/local/bin/cabextract'; then in the @decoders list there is an entry: ['cab', \&do_cabextract, \$cabextract], referring to this variable. If you prefer, that entry in @decoders could be changed directly to something like ['cab', \&do_cabextract, 'cabextract'], in which case the old-style variable $cabextract would not be used.
