=================================================
setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing sendmail (system_mail_t) "read" to
/var/log/messages (var_log_t). For complete SELinux messages. run
sealert -l 5672ff6c-ad2c-4d3b-aa2b-4c53178ed5f2


$ sealert -l 5672ff6c-ad2c-4d3b-aa2b-4c53178ed5f2
=================================================
Summary:

SELinux is preventing sendmail (system_mail_t) "read" to /var/log/messages
(var_log_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by sendmail. It is not expected that
this access
is required by 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:

Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to
restore
the default system file context for /var/log/messages,

restorecon -v '/var/log/messages'

If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this
access.
Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access -
see FAQ
(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 bug report
(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.

Well Number one  Fedora 9 is no longer supported.  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
Thanks!
Dan
