Update f18 server running postfix 2. 3. Actual results: Postfix is broken Expected results: Postfix works fine with the actual SELinux policy Additional info: First I've done a mass-restorecon (with 'touch /.autorelabel;reboot'), but postfix got the same fatal errors in /var/log/maillog. I made 3 modules policy for AVC comm="smtpd", comm="cleanup" and comm="local", and postfix works fine then.
Has been fixed in selinux-policy-3.11.1-96.fc18 and the update is now going to the stable.
