I'm using Debian, so i just did an 'apt-get install tnef'.

I searched for 'winmail.dat' in my maillogs today, and it seems like the 
problem is solved, no errors showing anymore. I didn't have to change 
the default patch either. This is from my conf:

TNEF Expander = /usr/bin/tnef --maxsize=100000000

# whereis tnef
tnef: /usr/bin/tnef /usr/share/man/man1/tnef.1.gz
