exim: SELinux

[Frank Chiulli]

John,
I tried as you suggested below.  The result...no errors!!!

Ok so now I'm confused.  exim is normally started at boot time by
/etc/init.d/exim.  There is no reference to boot in that script.  That
script is part of the exim package.

Here's what I did:
   - as root, I ran '/etc/init.d/exim stop'
   - as root, I ran 'exim -bd -d"+all" >/tmp/ex.file 2>&1'

   - as a normal user, I ran 'fetchmail'
     In the past, this would result in an AVC error; but not this time.
     BTW, there was one new message in my mail file as a result of this.

Frank
