Which version of AMaViS _exactly_? In general, please see http://www.amavis.org/amavis-user-guidelines.php3#Technical for reporting any problems with amavis. Thanks.
Upps sorry. It's amavis perl-11 on linux (kernal 2.2.18). The MTA is sendmail 8.11.2.
Ok, I assume you've installed it out of the sources? Or did you use the RPM we ship since SuSE 7.2? Probably the amavis-user mailing list is a better place for discussing amavis-related stuff.
We rely on what the unix command file tells us (sooner or later it will be replaced by a perl module).
So I tried to save the attachments as local-files from the dead.letter written by amavis and ask file for each type but none off them are reported as tar. But I had a closer look at the attachment. The file which produces the error is created by a shell-script to report errors and it looks like a tar file is placed somewhere in it. May I ask you to send me the whole mail (or at least the script) to have a closer look at this issue? Thanks.
