Amavis: No decoder for .F/No ext program for .F, tried: unfreeze, freeze -d, melt, fcat

cz flag

I am using amavis for my Debian 11 mailserver. I managed to set almost all configs correct but there is a problem scanning .F files because no decoder is found.

Starting amavis tells me:

Jun 17 10:31:30 mail amavis[709]: Net::Server: Group Not Defined. Defaulting to EGID '120 120'

Jun 17 10:31:30 mail amavis[709]: Net::Server: User Not Defined. Defaulting to EUID '112'

Jun 17 10:31:30 mail amavis[709]: No ext program for .F, tried: unfreeze, freeze -d, melt, fcat

Jun 17 10:31:30 mail amavis[709]: No decoder for .F

Jun 17 10:31:30 mail amavis[709]: Using primary internal av scanner code for clamav-socket

I tried to install the freeze tool via apt and from here but no success. Apt doesn't know this tool because it's not part of debian [anymore? was it ever?] and compiling it via the makefile throws a lot of compiler errors. I don't even think the 2.50.0 version I linked is compatible with debian because the README tells it was built for SunOS 4.1.2, Xenix 2.3.2 and MS-DOS.

I know the .F file format is not used anymore but this error annoys me and I don't want to just comment it out. Also I found a few users trying to get rid of this error message and grant full functionality for amavis.

BONUS: Am I able to set the Net::Server Group and User? I know this message is not critical and caused by the log-level of amavis but I also found a lot of posts online where no-one is able to set the Net::Server correctly. I'd like to get rid of this message too the proper way. Not just comment it out. Also: Is the last message:

Using primary internal av scanner code for clamav-socket

an info for regular behavior or an error?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
