Incorrect, depending on how you define your milter call for sendmail.
The following is the default recommended line for sendmail.mc in the
clamav documenation (one long line):
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clmilter',`S=local:/var/run/clmilter.sock,
F=, T=S:4m;R:4m')dnl
In the libmilter documentation, it defines the F flag as:
The current flags (F=) are:
R Reject connection if filter unavailable
T Temporary fail connection if filter unavailable
If neither F=R nor F=T is specified, the message is passed through
sendmail in case of filter errors as if the failing filters were not
present.
So by not specifying an F=T setting, you're telling it to pass it
through in the event of clamav-milter failure. I'm not sure what the
case would be if clamav-milter was still fully functional, but clamd
failed.
