Hi Christos,
Thank you for your quick answer. I really appreciate it. Here's what I did:
$ cd /tmp/
$ git clone https://github.com/file/file
$ cat /tmp/file/magic/Magdir/* >> /etc/magic
$ file --compile
I then got a lot of warnings:
$ file --compile

The new magic.mgc file was built but still no luck with recent Microsoft
Powerpoint for Mac v16 files:
$ file -m /tmp/magic.mgc /tmp/CURIE_2021_PPT.pptx
/tmp/CURIE_2021_PPT.pptx: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
When it should say:
$ file -m /tmp/magic.debian10.filev5.35.mgc /tmp/CURIE_2021_PPT.pptx
/tmp/CURIE_2021_PPT.pptx: Microsoft PowerPoint 2007+
Any idea why?
Regards,
Frédéric.
PS : Main issue is with Amavis on RHEL8/CentOS8 considering this file as
a zip file, unzipping it and then bannishing it due to .dat files
considered as .exe files. :-/ Using the Debian 10 magic.mgc file on the
same machine, the attachment is correctly identified as a Microsoft
PowerPoint 2007+ document and the email is delivered to the recipient.
