Description of problem: ======================= When a program executed as root utilizes esmtp to send warnings and notifications /.esmtp_queue/ is created and used for outgoing messages. This directory SHOULD NOT be where it is, it should be located at /root/.esmtp_queue/. This is primarily a file system hierarchy issue but selinux policy is also involved (as seen in bugs 1256851, 1140493, and probably others). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ============================================================= all How reproducible: ================= This bug is 100% reproducible. Steps to Reproduce: =================== 1. Install fail2ban with mail notification support 2. Configure fail2ban for something commonly targeted (sshd is likely your best bet) 3. Start fail2ban.service 4. Watch the journal and/or /var/log/fail2ban.log for a triggering event 5. ls -la / 6. Marvel at the presence of /.esmtp_queue Actual results: =============== /.esmtp_queue is created. Expected results: ================= /root/.esmtp_queue should be used instead. Additional info:
