Found a post on the amavis mailing list from March 2006
Not sure what version of amavisd ships with Zimbra 4.0.3, so I installed the libnet-server-perl from stable, which is 0.87-3sarge1...I am still getting the " parts_decode_ext FAILED: Error reading from file(1) utility: Bad file descriptor at (eval 51) line 151, <GEN9> line 1" errors.
