I would add the following just before "Sumamry" (in case one wants to 
edit the rules suggested by audit2allow):

    Building module policy manually


- grep sendmail /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M postfix
- while reviewing the generated postfix.te

    module local 1.0;

    require {
            type httpd_log_t;
            type postfix_postdrop_t;
            class dir getattr;
            class file { read getattr };
    }

    #============= postfix_postdrop_t ==============
    allow postfix_postdrop_t httpd_log_t:file getattr;


we decide that we do not want either to *relabel* the files or to 
*allow* the action, but it is safe to *ignore* the warnings. Therefore 
we edit the action rule, like below:

    dontaudit postfix_postdrop_t httpd_log_t:file getattr;

We now need to compile and load the policy:

    $ checkmodule -M -m -o postfix.mod postfix.te
    $ semodule_package -o local.pp -m postfix.mod
    $ semodule -i postfix.pp
