Have you tried catdoc instead of antiword ?
With antiword I see messages like this , probably needs a parameter for
correct invocation:

But how do I make amavis use it?
In your config you should have an array of decoders, e.g.
```
@decoders = (
['mail', \&do_mime_decode],
# [[qw(asc uue hqx ync)], \&do_ascii], # not safe
['F', \&do_uncompress, ['unfreeze', 'freeze -d', 'melt', 'fcat'] ],
['doc', \&do_ole, 'ripole'],
)
```
so if my perl days aren't failing me, you simply need to replace the
`ripole` with `antiword` in that last line there.
If it helps, in Debian, in /etc/amavis/conf.d/01-debian, there is a line:
$ripole = 'ripole';
So, in /etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user, I have just added a line to
override this:
$ripole = ['ripole', 'antiword'];
installed antiword and restarted amavis. It now all looks OK.
