Postfix (FC7)

["Stanisław T. Findeisen" <sf181257 students mimuw edu pl>]

Hello

Hopefully you Fedora/SELinux developers already know that Postfix does 
not work correctly by default in Fedora Core 7?

        audit(1189079035.093:14): avc:  denied  { append } for 
pid=2573 comm="local" name="stf" dev=sda1 ino=5881977 
scontext=system_u:system_r:postfix_local_t:s0 
tcontext=root:object_r:mail_spool_t:s0 tclass=file

This used to happen to me when I tried (as an ordinary user) to send 
email to myself. The file that Postfix was trying to append to was my 
own mail file (/var/spool/mail/stf).

I had to add this rule:

        allow postfix_local_t mail_spool_t:file append;

What's more, it turned out that checkmodule (policy language compiler) 
is not present, so I had to install one from Fedora Core 6.
