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.

Daniel,

Thanks.

I came up with the following:

allow httpd_t smtp_port_t:tcp_socket name_connect;

CAn this be added to the std policy? Or preferably added as a boolean, e.g.:

setsebool -P httpd_can_send_mail

R.
