<p>Hi there.</p>
<p>Apologies for resending this, but I discovered I had a problem
with my DKIM signature on the original email, so it may have been
blocked by many list recipients...<br>
</p>
<p>I've recently upgraded my email relay, which has amavisd-new
installed, and when amavis starts up it logs all the file types
which it doesn't have decoders for. Looking at the amavisd-new
script, I can see that @decoders is set to:</p>

<font face="monospace"> );
</font></blockquote>
<p>Which seems to say that 7z can be used for the following file
extensions:<br>
</p>
<blockquote><font face="monospace">zip kmz</font><br>
<font face="monospace">7z</font><br>
<font face="monospace">gz bz2 Z tar</font><br>
<font face="monospace">xz lzma jar cpio arj rar swf lha iso cab
deb rpm</font></blockquote>
<p>So after installing p7zip-full and p7zip-rar packages, which
provide the 7z program (and also 7zr and 7za), I'm curious why I
still see warnings for rpm, rar, arj and cab:<br>
</p>
<blockquote>
<p><font face="monospace">Aug 29 13:13:39 mx amavis[10781]: No ext
program for .rpm, tried: rpm2cpio.pl, rpm2cpio
<br>
Aug 29 13:13:39 mx amavis[10781]: No ext program for .rar,
tried: unrar-free
<br>
Aug 29 13:13:39 mx amavis[10781]: No ext program for .arj,
tried: arj, unarj
<br>
Aug 29 13:13:39 mx amavis[10781]: No ext program for .cab,
tried: cabextract
</font><br>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Does this mean that 7z isn't going to be used for these file
types? And if so, is there something I can do to get amavis to use
7z for these file types?</p>
<p>Or should these messages just be ignored?</p>
<p>And on a related note, I know (on Windows at least) 7-zip can
handle self-extracting exe files, although I notice that the "man
7z" manual page doesn't mention EXE files. So I wonder whether exe
should or shouldn't be added to the list of files that 7z can
handle in a future version of amavis?<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
