Is SELinux blocking all forward-only mail agents? (esmtp/ssmtp)

[NM]

I didn't want to have a full-fledged MTA on my machines; I tried both 
esmtp and ssmtp, and both seem unable to work without tripping on 
SELinux. It looks like they always inherit the context of the calling 
program, which doesn't have the rights to, say, connect outside on port 
25.

Is there a way?


Summary:

SELinux is preventing sendmail (logwatch_t) "name_connect" smtp_port_t.

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but 
was permitted due to permissive mode.]

SELinux denied access requested by sendmail. It is not expected that this 
access 
is required by sendmail and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. 
It is
also possible that the specific version or configuration of the 
application is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can 
disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not 
recommended. 
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/
enter_bug.cgi) against this package.
