Well, i still have problems with SELinux and Dovecot, when i do a reboot i get a error
Starting Dovecot Imap: Fatal: Can't open configuration file /etc/dovecot.conf: Permission denied

and in the audit.log i find this error

type=AVC msg=audit(1134595859.843:208): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=26990 comm="dovecot" name="dovecot.conf" dev=dm-0 ino=197586 scontext=system_u:system_r:dovecot_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_runtime_t tclass=file

I can only fix this by doing a "fixfiles relabel" and "touch ./autorelabel" and then it works again, till the next reboot..

Is there a way to fix this? or is there a way to exclude dovecot from SELinux??
