Hi,

After configuring systemd unit with ReadWritePaths=/home/mail, I get the

following error logs in audit:

I have SELinux enabled, on CentOS.

If I run:

audit2why < /var/log/audit/audit.log

I get:

type=AVC msg=audit(1586601301.044:6707): avc: denied { write } for

pid=9930 comm="imap" name="Maildir" dev="dm-3" ino=438370738

scontext=system_u:system_r:dovecot_t:s0

tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:etc_runtime_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0

Was caused by:

Missing type enforcement (TE) allow rule.

I think it's important to know that I'm trying to use dovecot with virtual

users. If I try to configure it with PAM authentication using system users,

it works well.

Any suggestions on this?

Looks like /home/mail as mail store isn't included in the default

SELinux policy. Did you make sure that the correct SELinux type is set

on the directories?

If this isn't enough to get you going you might need to create your own

policy. The following steps should be all that it takes to create your

own policy.

Check that grep includes only lines that you want included in your new

policy:

grep dovecot /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -w

Create your new policy for Dovecot and install it:

grep dovecot /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M dovecot_custom

semodule -i dovecot_custom.pp
