Hey, I'm working on getting a new Fedora-10 server up and running. I've set up mailman and have lists configured. Mail even seems to be flowing, but for some reason I'm getting a strange audit message on each incoming message. I find it interesting that there are three unix_socket AVCs and I have three milters connected to sendmail. The settroubleshoot viewer gives me the following information. I'm hoping someone could help me understand these log messages, and maybe help me make them go away? Thanks, -derek Summary SELinux is preventing mailman (mailman_mail_t) "read write" sendmail_t. Detailed Description SELinux denied access requested by mailman. It is not expected that this access is required by mailman 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 Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report against this package.
