Description Mikhail 2013-08-14 04:02:32 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail from 'search' accesses on the directory /etc/mail.

*****  Plugin httpd_can_sendmail (91.4 confidence) suggests  *****************

If you want to allow httpd to send mail
Then you must setup SELinux to allow this
Do
setsebool -P httpd_can_sendmail=1

*****  Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that sendmail.sendmail should be allowed search access on the mail directory 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 sendmail /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
