Description of problem: The spamass-milter configuration for postfix in spamass-milter-postfix tries to set the group for the socket file to "postfix" using a -g option in the file /etc/sysconfig/spamass-milter-postfix. SELinux prevents spamass-milter from starting because it doesn't have access to the /etc/group file, so it can't translate the group name to group id. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spamass-milter-postfix-0.3.2-6.fc17.noarch selinux-policy-targeted-3.10.0-146.fc17.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.install and configure postfix, spamass-milter-postfix 2.systemctl start spamass-milter 3. Actual results: spamass-milter fails to start (see /var/log/messages and systemctl status spamass-milter). Expected results: spamass-milter up and running Additional info: I was forced to turn off selinux because I had to get email working.

milter.te needs this to support operation with postfix: # Look up group name (needed by spamass-milter-postfix) (#853721) auth_use_nsswitch(spamass_milter_t) I've tested this locally and the daemon starts successfully with this addition to policy.
Thank you. Added.
