Dear Alexander,

Run "sestatus" and you'll see.

Run "grep -i AVC /var/log/audit/audit.log" to identify SELinux caused denials.

because I saw this type of question quite too often, I added this info to the Wiki2 (to be revised by Timo): http://master.wiki2.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWork

I copy'n'pasted your sentences, if you don't mind.

Kind regards,

Hello Steffen,

sure I am fine with that.

Even better it would be to have a recipe for a custom SELinux policy to not be mislead switching off SELinux at all. Such a custom policy is necessary when storing mail in the user's homedir because files created there get a wrong SELinux context for that usecase by default.

An general overview about this topic can be found on

Kind regards

Alexander
