IIRC, amavisd-new does not use the -i flag on file(1). I believe it
calls file with no flags and parses the returned text.

# file *doc
this is a openvpn gui.doc: Microsoft Installer

# file -i *doc
this is a openvpn gui.doc: application/msword

Apply my little patch to sbin/amavisd and try again... That was what
fixed it for me.
