So, that should be fine.

You probably don't have /usr/local/bin in the amavis/maia
user's path.
In any case, the fix is simple.  In your amavisd.conf file,
make sure
you have a line that reads:

$file = '/usr/local/bin/file';

I tried that and also got nothing. =/ I'm absolutely
stumped with this. I 
don't understand why standard Amavisd-new would work just
fine and Maia 
wouldn't be able to find the file(1) utility.

I had a similar problem before on one of my FBSD machines,
but that was easily 
resolved by using the SVN version instead of the
"stable"... So, eh. 
Clueless.

Thanks for the help though.
