Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.9.7-44.fc14.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.9.7-44.fc14.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Postfix configuration:

mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/run/dovecot/lmtp

2. Dovecot configuration:
service lmtp {
  unix_listener lmtp {
     mode = 0660
     group = postfix
     user = postfix
  }

3. Receive an email
  
Actual results:
selinux denials

Expected results:
No selinux denials

Additional info:
Message from Dominick Grift on selinux list to solve it:

mkdir ~/mypostfix; cd ~/mypostfix;
echo "policy_module(mypostfix, 1.0.0) optional_policy(\` gen_require(\`
type postfix_smtp_t; ') dovecot_stream_connect(postfix_smtp_t)')" >
mypostfix.te;

make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile mypostfix.pp
sudo semodule -i mypostfix.pp
