I am not sure about your quotation: are the '' just in your mail or
inside your sendmail.cf? A common fault is to use wrong quotes inside
the sendmail.mc. A proper line here for clamav-milter looks like:
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clamav', `S=unix:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock,
F=T, T=S:4m;R:4m;E:4m')dnl
The quotation pairs are `'. The resulting Xclamav line in sendmail.cf is
then
Xclamav, S=unix:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock, F=T,
T=S:4m;R:4m;E:4m
You see, no quotes there.

You better don't edit the init script. /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter
should be sourced and contains all runtime imformation for the ClamAV
milter process.
