'getsebool' shows only 2 Exim booleans, both off by default. Turning these to 'on' made no difference. Running audit2allow, and following the man page, changed things but the mail still fails. I now get (for example): ================================================== 2007-10-04 12:40:07 H=tracy.csd.plymouth.ac.uk [141.163.177.2] F=<condor-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx> temporarily rejected RCPT <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: require_files: error for /home/john/Maildir/: Permission denied ================================================== Now this isn't an selinux error, but, as said before, this was all working fine. The directory Maildir certainly hasn't changed. I think I'm basically going to have to disable selinux (because the mail works then) and send the problem up to bugzilla so that it can be fixed in the next update.
