Are you running thunderbird as a plugin within firefox?

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2012-09-20 09:36:03 UTC
Ok this is a mozplugger issue, I am adding a new setroubleshoot plugin:

SELinux is preventing thunderbird from name_connect access on the tcp_socket .

*****  Plugin mozplugger (50.5 confidence) suggests  *************************

If you want to use mozplugger package
Then you must turn off SELinux controls on the Firefox plugins.
Do
# setsebool unconfined_mozilla_plugin_transition 0

*****  Plugin mozplugger_remove (50.0 confidence) suggests  ******************

If you want to to continue using SELinux Firefox plugin containment rather then using mozplugger package
Then you must remove the mozplugger package.
Do
# yum remove mozplugger

*****  Plugin catchall (1.0 confidence) suggests  ****************************

If you believe that thunderbird should be allowed name_connect access on the  tcp_socket by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep thunderbird /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
