My yum service recently updated selinux policy which I believe broke my
postfix service. I was guessing that selinux does not like me using a
non-standard port for postfix stmp, but then again I am a newbie.
Is there a way to disable just the postfix part of selinux? I have done
this for samba by using the security level gui, but postfix isn't listed
in the gui. For now I can set selinux to permissive then restart
postfix (using the service config gui), then change selinux back to
enforced. This works but this machine gets rebooted weekly and then
postfix fails, also I don't want to leave selinux off completely. I am
running fc4, postfix, amavisd, clamav, and spamassasin.
