Hi,

Apologies for slow response. Thanks ever so much for this. Just what I
was looking for!

Just one small thing...

When I tried this, editing /etc/setroubleshoot/setroubleshoot.cfg
and creating a file /var/lib/setroubleshoot/email_alert_recipients it
didn't work. I looked at this wiki entry
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/SELinux/SETroubleShoot/UserFAQ#email-alerts
and it said essentially exactly the same thing. It also said that that I
could use the sealert GUI to set the mailing settings, so I SSH'd into
my serving using a forwarded X server and tried that. It worked!

The strange thing is that the wiki says that the GUI method simply
modifies the same file (which makes sense), but I used a different email
address and the old email address (which doesn't work) is still in that file with no sign of
the new one (which works!).

Ho hum... I suppose I goofed somewhere along the line. I'll look into it
with a little more care when I get the chance. In the meantime, the
important thing is it works!

Thanks again, your help is greatly appreciated.

Mark
