Bug 590470

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/procmail "write" access on tmp.

Detailed Description:

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

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

#============= procmail_t ==============
#!!!! The source type 'procmail_t' can write to a 'dir' of the following types:
# user_home_t, var_log_t, procmail_log_t, tmp_t, user_home_dir_t, mail_spool_t

allow procmail_t usr_t:dir write;
