Actually I am running selinux-policy-3.0.8-24.fc8 and I am still getting the
same SELinux alerts, never stopped...

Comment 3 Robert Staaf 2007-10-20 08:23:52 EDT

I have relabeled a couple of times since then as well...

Yes I will update tonight to allow system_mail_t to domtrans to exim_t and this
will be allowed.

Comment 9 Robert Staaf 2007-11-02 07:56:26 EDT

Looks like this is a rather stubborn one...
