RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.The `postfix` RHEL System Role can now use the `firewall` and `selinux` RHEL System Roles to manage port access With this enhancement, you can automate managing port access by using the new role variables `postfix_manage_firewall` and `postfix_manage_selinux`: * If they are set to `true`, each role is used to manage the port access. * If they are set to `false`, which is default, the roles do not engage.

Description Noriko Hosoi 2022-09-27 19:53:07 UTC
Description of problem:

The postfix role can use the firewall role and the selinux role to manage port access.

### postfix_manage_firewall

Boolean flag allowing to configure firewall using the firewall role.
Manage the smtp related ports, 25/tcp, 465/tcp, and 587/tcp.
If the variable is set to `false`, the `postfix role` does not manage the
firewall.
Default to `false`.

NOTE: `postfix_manage_firewall` is limited to *adding* ports.
It cannot be used for *removing* ports.
If you want to remove ports, you will need to use the firewall system
role directly.

NOTE: the firewall management is not supported on RHEL 6.

### postfix_manage_selinux

Boolean flag allowing to configure selinux using the selinux role.
Assign `smtp_port_t` to the smtp related ports.
If the variable is set to false, the `postfix role` does not manage the
selinux

NOTE: `postfix_manage_selinux` is limited to *adding* policy.
It cannot be used for *removing* policy.
If you want to remove policy, you will need to use the selinux system
role directly.
