Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

FC4 last updates kill postfix+postgrey: msg#00133

Subject: FC4 last updates kill postfix+postgrey
This is a cryptographically signed message in MIME format.
Hi Folks -

Using FC4 postfix with 'postgrey', a greylisting service that
communicates via a unix socket:

# ll -Z /var/spool/postfix/postgrey/socket
srw-rw-rw-  postgrey nobody   root:object_r:postfix_spool_t
/var/spool/postfix/postgrey/socket

After recent updates:

Sep 27 09:25:17 Updated: audit-libs.i386 1.0.4-1.fc4
Sep 27 09:25:31 Updated: audit.x86_64 1.0.4-1.fc4
Sep 27 09:25:34 Updated: selinux-policy-targeted.noarch 1.27.1-2.2
Sep 27 09:25:35 Updated: audit-libs.x86_64 1.0.4-1.fc4

and a reboot, the socket is not available for postfix to open:

Sep 27 14:08:56 siamese postfix/smtpd[13486]: warning: connect to
/var/spool/postfix/postgrey/socket: Permission denied
Sep 27 14:08:56 siamese postfix/smtpd[13486]: warning: problem talking
to server /var/spool/postfix/postgrey/socket: Permission denied

Mail is then getting kicked because of this with, eg:

Sep 27 14:08:57 siamese postfix/smtpd[13486]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from
hormel.redhat.com[209.132.177.30]: 450 Server configuration problem;
from=<fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx> to=<andy@xxxxxxxxxxx> proto=ESMTP
helo=<hormel.redhat.com>

However there are no avc complaints in /var/log/messages.  Turning off
enforcing (of the targetted mode this is) in system-config-securitylevel
enables mail to work, therefore I deduce it is to do with selinux
despite the lack of complaints.

The socket is live alright as it appears (twice?) on:

# lsof -n | grep postgrey\/socket
postgrey  12989 postgrey    5u     unix 0xffff81007995d800
   77801 /var/spool/postfix/postgrey/socket
postgrey  12989 postgrey    9u     unix 0xffff810005ed3800
   92050 /var/spool/postfix/postgrey/socket

Any advice?

-Andy
