Description of problem:
this happened right after logging into my account.

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/dovecot/auth from 'search' accesses on the directory /root.

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

If you believe that auth should be allowed search access on the root directory 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 auth /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
