Thumbs up squirrelmail selinux error


Dear all

i installed dovecot and sendmail in RHEL5

those are working properly.
i installed squirreal mail and try to sent the the mail to the other user then this selinux error is comming.



Quote:
Summary
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail (system_mail_t) "read" to
eventpoll:[7045] (httpd_t).

Detailed Description
SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail. It is not
expected that this access is required by /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail and
this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the
specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to
require additional access.

Allowing Access
Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to
restore the default system file context for eventpoll:[7045], restorecon -v
eventpoll:[7045] If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way
to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to
allow this access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-
fc5/#id2961385 Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling
SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.
