Description Anthony Messina 2011-04-24 02:39:53 UTC
Using the following:

mailman-2.1.13-8.fc14.x86_64
postfix-2.7.3-1.fc14.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.9.7-37.fc14.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.9.7-37.fc14.noarch

and with the following defaults:

~]# ls -lZ /etc/aliases
-rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:etc_aliases_t:s0 /etc/aliases


~]# ls -lZ /etc/mailman
-rw-r-----. root mailman system_u:object_r:mailman_data_t:s0 adm.pw
-rw-rw----. root mailman system_u:object_r:mailman_data_t:s0 aliases
-rw-r--r--. root mailman system_u:object_r:mailman_data_t:s0 aliases.db
-rw-r--r--. root mailman system_u:object_r:mailman_data_t:s0 aliases.old
lrwxrwxrwx. root mailman system_u:object_r:mailman_data_t:s0 mm_cfg.py -> /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py
-rw-r--r--. root mailman system_u:object_r:mailman_data_t:s0 sitelist.cfg

I now receive the following AVCs each time mail is posted through one of my lists, having just upgraded from the previously released Mailman.
