Description of problem: SELinux is preventing esmtp from 'read' accesses on the file /.esmtp_queue/wyVaywGj/mail. ***** Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests ************************ If you want to fix the label. /.esmtp_queue/wyVaywGj/mail default label should be default_t. Then you can run restorecon. Do # /sbin/restorecon -v /.esmtp_queue/wyVaywGj/mail ***** Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that esmtp should be allowed read access on the mail 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 esmtp /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:system_mail_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:root_t:s0 Target Objects /.esmtp_queue/wyVaywGj/mail [ file ] Source esmtp Source Path esmtp Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-141.fc23.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.2.0-0.rc8.git0.1.fc23.x86_64+debug #1 SMP Mon Aug 24 14:26:09 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 5 First Seen 2015-08-25 20:18:05 YEKT Last Seen 2015-08-25 20:18:25 YEKT Local ID cd697211-d972-4590-b373-61a45501a981 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1440515905.740:877): avc: denied { read } for pid=4299 comm="esmtp" path="/.esmtp_queue/wyVaywGj/mail" dev="sda1" ino=3554908 scontext=system_u:system_r:system_mail_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:root_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0 Hash: esmtp,system_mail_t,root_t,file,read Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-141.fc23.noarch Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.6.2 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.2.0-0.rc8.git0.1.fc23.x86_64+debug type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 1140493
The main issue here is that the '.esmtp_queue directory' should not be under '/' but under some home directory. This happens when sendmail doesn't have the $HOME environment variable set, e.g. when running from a cron job. This problem is being resolved in [1]. Marking as duplicate.
