This one time, at band camp, Michael Gilbert said: > will the boolean defaults be false for the heuristics?
In what I have seen, the options will be given the same defaults, but it makes it easier to turn them off this way, at least. Calling this test a heuristic is, also, not strictly speaking accurate. It's a fairly simple algorithm: if (((uncompressed_size/compressed_size) > limit) && size_limit) block; Since it's an important DoS prevention test in the most common settings that clamav is used in, I don't think it makes sense to disable it by default. I have forwarded this discussion upstream, but I don't really expect them to change their minds. I am happy to leave this bug open since I understand it causes problems for people, but having an easy way to disable all the --block-foo stuff will, in my opinion, make this sort of thing a non issue, as it will be trivial for local policy to override all of the built in defaults.
