Comment 1 Karel Srot 2011-09-22 10:21:37 UTC 
I mean smtp port, not snmp. sorry. 
When I allow this with semodule -M, rsyslog works fine and mails are delivered.
Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2011-09-22 11:20:13 UTC 
We need to add it.
Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2011-09-22 13:03:00 UTC 
This should be by boolean.  I would not want rsyslog just mailing off log files.
Comment 4 Miroslav Grepl 2011-09-22 13:11:51 UTC 
"logging_syslogd_can_sendmail"

is fine?
Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2011-09-22 13:25:27 UTC 
Sure default to false.
