I have tried in vain to resolve the spamass-milter issue and selinux. Nothing I have tried manually, worked to resolve this issue. The specific issues that I had was that selinux was expecting spamass-milter to be of type initrc_t. I have simply turned off spamass-milter in my sendmail.mc file until I can get this issue resolved. Here are some examples of complaints: /var/log/maillog: ======================== Jan 26 13:56:47 gold sendmail[2408]: m0QLuhZk002408: from=dant, size=53, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200801262156.m0QLuhZk002408@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, relay=dant@localhost Jan 26 13:56:47 gold sendmail[2410]: m0QLulQ9002410: Milter (spamassassin): error connecting to filter: Permission denied Jan 26 13:56:47 gold sendmail[2410]: m0QLulQ9002410: Milter (spamassassin): to error state Jan 26 13:56:47 gold sendmail[2410]: STARTTLS=server, relay=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1], version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=NO, cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits=256/256 Jan 26 13:56:47 gold sendmail[2408]: STARTTLS=client, relay=[127.0.0.1], version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=FAIL, cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits=256/256 Jan 26 13:56:50 gold sendmail[2410]: m0QLulQA002410: from=<dant@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, size=332, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200801262156.m0QLuhZk002408@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] Jan 26 13:56:50 gold sendmail[2410]: m0QLulQA002410: Milter add: header: X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV 0.92/5562/Sat Jan 26 03:34:23 2008 on gold.cdkkt.com Jan 26 13:56:50 gold sendmail[2410]: m0QLulQA002410: Milter add: header: X-Virus-Status: Clean Jan 26 13:56:50 gold sendmail[2408]: m0QLuhZk002408: to=dbthurman@xxxxxxxxxxx, ctladdr=dant (500/500), delay=00:00:07, xdelay=00:00:03, mailer=relay, pri=30053, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (m0QLulQA002410 Message accepted for delivery) Jan 26 13:57:12 gold sendmail[2414]: m0QLulQA002410: to=<dbthurman@xxxxxxxxxxx>, ctladdr=<dant@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (500/500), delay=00:00:23, xdelay=00:00:22, mailer=esmtp, pri=120332, relay=mx3.hotmail.com.

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 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.
