I have a lot of avc messages in my log file indicating a problem with spamassassin/mqueue. I am running FC6 with a standard installation and don't know why there is a problem with the directory /var/spool/mqueue.

Do I need to change the context for this directory?

Below are some of the messages from my log file:

Nov 8 23:02:32 kepler kernel: audit(1163044952.697:127322): avc: denied { search } for pid=14530 comm="spamassassin" name="mqueue" dev=sda8 ino=326413 scontext=user_u:system_r:procmail_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:mqueue_spool_t:s0 tclass=dir Nov 8 23:02:33 kepler kernel: audit(1163044953.317:127323): avc: denied { search } for pid=14530 comm="spamassassin" name="mqueue" dev=sda8 ino=326413 scontext=user_u:system_r:procmail_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:mqueue_spool_t:s0 tclass=dir Nov 8 23:02:33 kepler kernel: audit(1163044953.317:127324): avc: denied { search } for pid=14530 comm="spamassassin" name="mqueue" dev=sda8 ino=326413 scontext=user_u:system_r:procmail_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:mqueue_spool_t:s0 tclass=dir Nov 8 23:02:33 kepler kernel: audit(1163044953.317:127325): avc: denied { search } for pid=14530 comm="spamassassin" name="mqueue" dev=sda8 ino=326413 scontext=user_u:system_r:procmail_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:mqueue_spool_t:s0 tclass=dir

Does procmail need to read this directory?
Does procmail need to be able to write this directory?

Isn't this a consequence of procmail being the local delivery agent for sendmail by default?

Paul.
I am no procmail expert. :^) But I just modified this to a dontaudit in the policy. Since we were already dontauditing the read of this file.

Seems that the people who wrote the policy believes procmail does not need to read these files.
