I've just reported this to upstream as #3040, see
https://wwws.clamav.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3040.

The wrong value "true" was likely caused by the debconf question missing in
versions before 0.97.1+dfsg-1 (whilst still internally asking debconf for a
value). If you remove this line from the config file or dpkg-reconfigure
clamav-milter you should get an appropriate value in there.

Automatically fixing this problem seems to be a bit risky as we do not want to
override a user's choice/configuration, not even an invalid one.

Hope this helps,
Michael

[Bug 808311] [NEW] ERROR: Invalid setting true for option LogInfected

[Fabien Tassin]

Public bug reported:

 * Starting Sendmail milter plugin for ClamAV clamav-milter
ERROR: Invalid setting true for option LogInfected  
[fail]

yet:

# grep LogInfected /etc/clamav/clamav-milter.conf
LogInfected Off

the reason is the log is bogus:

clamav-milter/clamfi.c:

if(!(opt = optget(opts, "LogInfected"))->enabled || 
!strcasecmp(opt->strarg, "Off"))
loginfected = LOGINF_NONE;
else if(!strcasecmp(opt->strarg, "Basic"))
loginfected = LOGINF_BASIC;
else if(!strcasecmp(opt->strarg, "Full"))
loginfected = LOGINF_FULL;
else {
logg("!Invalid setting %s for option LogInfected\n", opt->strarg);
return 1;
}

if((opt = optget(opts, "LogClean"))->enabled) {
if(!strcasecmp(opt->strarg, "Basic"))
loginfected |= LOGCLN_BASIC;
else if(!strcasecmp(opt->strarg, "Full"))
loginfected |= LOGCLN_FULL;
else if(strcasecmp(opt->strarg, "Off")) {
logg("!Invalid setting %s for option LogInfected\n", opt->strarg);  
  <== should be "LogClean"
return 1;
}
}


and indeed:

# grep LogClean /etc/clamav/clamav-milter.conf
LogClean true

Changing "true" to  "Basic" / "Full" / "Off" make it work.

So both the confusing log and the wrong default value should be fixed.
