Description Jeff MacDonald 2011-03-24 16:22:10 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/spamc from 'read' accesses on the fifo_file fifo_file.

*****  Plugin catchall (50.5 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that spamc should be allowed read access on the fifo_file fifo_file 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:
# grep spamc /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

*****  Plugin leaks (50.5 confidence) suggests  ******************************

If you want to ignore spamc trying to read access the fifo_file fifo_file, because you believe it should not need this access.
Then you should report this as a bug.  
You can generate a local policy module to dontaudit this access.
Do
# grep /usr/bin/spamc /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -D -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
