Description of problem:

stock up-to-date F16 install with rt3 installed and configured can not send email due to SELinux AVC denials


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rt3-3.8.11-6.fc16.noarch


How reproducible:

open new ticket on fresh RT installation


Steps to Reproduce:
1. install and initialize RT on fresh Fedora 16 box
2. open new ticket (e.g. via web u/i)
3. error entry gets logged right after initial ticket entry:

Actual results:

Second entry logged for the ticket reads:

The RT System itself - System error
Sending the previous mail has failed. Please contact your admin, they can find more details in the logs
  
Expected results:

The entry should read like this instead:

The RT System itself - Outgoing email recorded 

Additional info:

I poked around with 'audit2allow' and came up with the following policy to make the problem go away:

module ini_rt3_mail 1.0;

require {
        type mqueue_spool_t;
        type httpd_t;
        type etc_mail_t;
        class process setrlimit;
        class dir { write search getattr add_name };
        class file { write getattr read lock create open }; 
}       
#============= httpd_t ==============
allow httpd_t etc_mail_t:dir { search getattr };
allow httpd_t etc_mail_t:file { read getattr open }; 
allow httpd_t mqueue_spool_t:dir { write search getattr add_name };
allow httpd_t mqueue_spool_t:file { lock read write getattr create open }; 
allow httpd_t self:process setrlimit;

Please consider adding a rt3-selinux subpackage as per
