Description of problem: When my system booted, it automatically started Postfix. The SELinux messages started coming immediately. SELinux is preventing qmgr from 'read' accesses on the file /etc/postfix/main.cf. ***** Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests ************************* If you want to fix the label. /etc/postfix/main.cf default label should be postfix_etc_t. Then you can run restorecon. Do # /sbin/restorecon -v /etc/postfix/main.cf ***** Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that qmgr should be allowed read access on the main.cf file 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 qmgr /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:postfix_qmgr_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:etc_aliases_t:s0 Target Objects /etc/postfix/main.cf [ file ] Source qmgr Source Path qmgr Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages postfix-2.9.6-5.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages postfix-2.9.6-5.fc18.x86_64 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-97.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.6-200.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jun 13 18:56:55 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 686 First Seen 2013-07-04 21:12:35 EDT Last Seen 2013-07-05 08:49:21 EDT Local ID 7c15b017-7756-484a-b016-7d64269e4673 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1373028561.142:1879): avc: denied { read } for pid=2617 comm="qmgr" name="main.cf" dev="dm-1" ino=426338 scontext=system_u:system_r:postfix_qmgr_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_aliases_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1373028561.142:1879): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7f904d6550c0 a1=0 a2=0 a3=25 items=0 ppid=1115 pid=2617 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=qmgr exe=/usr/libexec/postfix/qmgr subj=system_u:system_r:postfix_qmgr_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: qmgr,postfix_qmgr_t,etc_aliases_t,file,read audit2allow #============= postfix_qmgr_t ============== allow postfix_qmgr_t etc_aliases_t:file read; audit2allow -R require { type postfix_qmgr_t; } #============= postfix_qmgr_t ============== mta_read_aliases(postfix_qmgr_t) Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.5 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.6-200.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport

This is more mislabeling file. George, could you run # restorecon -R -v /etc/postfix and re-open it if you see it again. Thank you.
