What MailScanner version are you running?

I am running MailScanner 4.84-1 and antiword 0.37, and what I see is the
following:

If I run antiword manually on certain files MS-Word (.doc), antiword reports

"I'm afraid the text stream of this file is too small to handle." and
returns an exit status of 1.

Is this the message you see?

What happens if you run antiword manually on one of your problem files?

If I attach one of those files to a message passed through MailScanner,
MailScanner just skips the conversion of the file to text, and the
message is delivered as sent with the original attachment intact.
