Description Paul 2010-12-17 05:14:59 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing the spamd daemon from reading users' home directories.

Detailed Description:

SELinux has denied the spamd daemon access to users' home directories. Someone
is attempting to access your home directories via your spamd daemon. If you only
setup spamd to share non-home directories, this probably signals an intrusion
attempt.

Allowing Access:

If you want spamd to share home directories you need to turn on the
spamd_enable_home_dirs boolean: "setsebool -P spamd_enable_home_dirs=1"

Fix Command:

setsebool -P spamd_enable_home_dirs=1
