[CentOS] Bugzilla 3.6.2 + sendmail + SELinux

Hello,

I have deployed Bugzilla 3.6.2 on CentOS 5 (with rpmforge perl-*
packages) and I have a problem with SELinux preventing mail being sent
via sendmail.
(see SELinux reports below, especially the second one)

When SELinux is in permissive mode, mail sending from Bugzilla is
working properly.

Has anybody got recent Bugzilla to work with SELinux on CentOS?

Thanks in advance!

Mathieu

Summary:

SELinux is preventing the sendmail from using potentially mislabeled files
./spool (var_spool_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux has denied the sendmail access to potentially mislabeled files ./spool.
This means that SELinux will not allow httpd to use these files. Many third
party apps install html files in directories that SELinux policy cannot predict.
These directories have to be labeled with a file context which httpd can access.

Allowing Access:

If you want to change the file context of ./spool so that the httpd daemon can
access it, you need to execute it using chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t './spool'.
You can look at the httpd_selinux man page for additional information.

Summary:

SELinux is preventing sendmail (httpd_bugzilla_script_t) "create" to <Unknown>
(httpd_bugzilla_script_t).

Detailed Description:

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.
