Incorrect, depending on how you define your milter call for sendmail.

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.


It does bad things, by default (tempfailing the mail, as I recall).  The
fix is to give the --dont-scan-on-error option to your clamav-milter.

My full set of clamav-milter flags are:
CLAMAV_FLAGS="--quiet --headers --noxheader --dont-log-clean
--dont-scan-on-error --max-children=10
local:/var/run/clamav/clmilter.sock"

I have found that setting the --max-children flag to 10 or a close value of 10 may put a little bit slow your SMTP service.


I don't like very much the --dont-scan-on-error option, what are the benefits of using it?

Best Regards,
Matías.
