Description George Petasis 2025-05-19 06:27:43 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing mail from 'getattr' accesses on the filesystem /dev/shm.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that mail should be allowed getattr access on the shm filesystem by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'mail' --raw | audit2allow -M my-mail
# semodule -X 300 -i my-mail.pp
