Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2012-02-03 16:10:37 UTC 
Looks like the log file is mislabled?


matchpathcon /var/log/clamd.exim
/var/log/clamd.exim	system_u:object_r:clamd_var_log_t:s0


restorecon /var/log/clamd.exim

Will fix. any idea how this file got created originally?
Comment 2 Jaroslav Škarvada 2012-02-06 09:28:27 UTC 
It is created by "touch" in %post. I workarounded it by explicit restorecon call. Thanks.
Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2012-02-06 09:40:07 UTC 
Would be nice to have

/var/log/clamd

for example. Then we could add a label for this dir and the "restorecon" would not be needed.
Comment 4 Jaroslav Škarvada 2012-02-06 09:49:08 UTC 
There is an effort to unify this across all clamd enabled packages. I am not sure whether we will finish it for F17, but it is on our radar.
