Looks like you are missing an actual domain transition rule. There is
also something fishy going on with role based access control.

Try this:

sudo semodule -r procmail_uncon

cat > mytest.te <<EOF
policy_module(mytest, 1.0.0)
optional_policy(`
gen_require(`
type procmail_t, unconfined_t, unconfined_exec_t;
')
domtrans_pattern(procmail_t, unconfined_exec_t, unconfined_t)
')
EOF

make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile mytest.pp
sudo semodule -i mytest.pp


Then try again, but keep a look out for any "SELINUX_ERR" messages in
audit.log

There may be some RBAC related issues yet to resolve.

First things first: see where this gets you
