I use procmail as my local delivery agent from sendmail. In FC5 this
appears to be running as procmail_t.
Procmail offers the ability to pipe mail through programs (filters), and
I use this facility from time to time. I'm getting quite a lot of
denials when doing this and wonder what the right approach to fixing
them is.
Case 1: a locally-written shell script called "spamdomain"
This is in my ~/bin directory and of type user_home_t
Procmail recipe:
SPAMDOMAIN=`spamdomain`
Result:
Apr 11 16:14:29 goalkeeper kernel: audit(1144768469.242:8006): avc:
denied { execute } for pid=16622 comm="procmail" name="spamdomain"

scontext=system_u:system_r:procmail_t:s0
tcontext=user_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 tclass=file
Case 2: piping mail through "sa-learn"
I run spamass-milter to reject mail in-protocol and then my own local
filter using procmail on anything that gets through. If I'm sure
something's spam, I like spamassassin to learn about it so I might
reject it earlier in future. So I pipe it through sa-learn (spamd_exec_t):
Procmail recipe:
:0c
| sa-learn --username=paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx --spam >/dev/null 2>&1
Result:
Apr 11 16:14:41 goalkeeper kernel: audit(1144768481.743:8008): avc:
denied { getattr } for pid=16718 comm="bash" name="sa-learn" dev=dm-3

tcontext=system_u:object_r:spamd_exec_t:s0 tclass=file
Apr 11 16:14:41 goalkeeper kernel: audit(1144768481.799:8012): avc:

tcontext=system_u:object_r:spamd_exec_t:s0 tclass=file
The "bash" denials will be due to procmail forking a shell to handle the
redirects.
What *should* I be doing here to fix this? I know I could just add local
policy to fix the denials, but is there a way to do it that's supported
by existing policy?
Paul.
