Bugzilla Bug 145378

i am running amavis und upgraded last week from 0.88 to 0.94. today i ran into
trouble with postfix and amavis spew out this:
amavis hat Folgendes geschrieben:

[snip]
... host 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] said: 451 4.5.0 Error in processing,
id=10985-02-3, decoding2-get-file-types FAILED: 'file' utility (/usr/bin/file)
failed, status=1 (256 ) at /usr/sbin/amavisd line 3793. (in reply to end of
DATA command))


after checking the /usr/bin/file is there and can handle files (as it has
already before), i found
http://listi.jpberlin.de/pipermail/postfixbuch-users/2006-June/025315.html and
after downgrading net-server to 0.88 again, everything went fine and postfix
could flush the mailqueue.
