Here is the original post: This is a recently installed/patched F11 system. It was a fresh install to one disk leaving my home directory untouched on another disk. Today, I installed exim and removed sendmail via yum at the command line. I am using the same exim.conf file that I had used with F10 after having compared it to the original one. I am now receiving the following message when I attempt to retrieve mail from my ISP: Jul 12 14:26:36 flinux setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing exim (exim_t) "getattr" boot_t. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l e699bb55-c0dc-4bbf-a57e-3d82d6dadcad sealert -l e699bb55-c0dc-4bbf-a57e-3d82d6dadcad Summary: SELinux is preventing exim (exim_t) "getattr" boot_t. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by exim. It is not expected that this access is required by exim 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: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (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 bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.
