Please upgrade to F10 or preferably F11. If you do not want to do this, you can add custom policy # grep sendmail /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mysendmail # semodule -i mysendmail.pp -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
