I ran audit2allow -M  which produced the following policy:

    require {
            type system_mail_t;
            type usr_t;
            class file read;
    }

    #============= system_mail_t ==============
    allow system_mail_t usr_t:file read;

I don't think allowing postfix.sendmail to read all files of type usr_t is the right thing to do, yet, I do need to allow postfix.sendmail to read the GeoIP data file.

Any suggestions?

I think it's not a big problem allowing _read_ of usr_t files. If you
really want to separate these files from others you could create a new
type. But like I already mentioned usr_t files do not hold any
confidential information (or at least they shouldn't). IMHO I would
allow read access.

+ you could also add into equation the good old pre-selinux attributes and allow postfix.sendmail to read only from the desired dir. either setfacl or chmod o-rwx plus chgrp (or variants of this combination) would help here.
