SELinux is preventing Sendmail from accessing spamass-milter.sock and clamav-milter.sock in their respective /var/run subdirectories. The /var/run/{clamav-milter,spamass-milter} attributes are: /var/run/clamav-milter var_run_t /var/run/clamav-milter/clamav-milter.sock: var_run_t /var/run/spamass-milter var_run_t /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock: spamd_var_run The MAIN problem is that even though it is NOT a problem starting the spamassasin and clamav programs but the sendmail program fails to start up because sendmail is denied permissions to access the clamav and spamass milter directory/file in /var/run areas. The sendmail.mc(cf) file has input-filters installed in them so that is why sendmail wants to use the clamav and spamassasin filters but is prevented from doing so due to selinux access permission denials. Sendmail has sendmail_t selinux tags but how is it allowed to access either of the above sock files if no selinux tags are assigned to neither? Please advise. Thanks!
