Here are the SELinux reports for more details. I have disabled
clamav and spamassassin from the sendmail.mc file for now.
==========================================================
Summary
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail (sendmail_t) "getattr" to
/var/run/clamav-milter/clamav.sock (var_run_t).
Detailed Description
SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail. It is not
expected that this access is required by /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail and
this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the
specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to
require additional access.
Allowing Access
Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to
restore the default system file context for /var/run/clamav-
milter/clamav.sock, restorecon -v /var/run/clamav-milter/clamav.sock If this
does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access.
Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not
recommended. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
against this package.
