SELinux is preventing /bin/mailx from 'append' accesses on the file /var/lib/rkhunter/rkhcronlog.kZW4RM5ksJ. ***** Plugin restorecon (98.5 confidence) suggests ************************* If you want to fix the label, rkhcronlog.kZW4RM5ksJ does not have the default system label.

This is rkhunter trying to send logs to root. Which is what I want, it used to work without a "mypol" <=F14
So now you have a local policy called mypol, which has a label for "/var/lib/rkhunter" directory? If so, just add this access to your local policy.
Just checking and making sure.

Hello - I had to add the policy for rkhunter as well. Best regards Michal Ambroz
