I thought I had this fixed, but I do not. I was away from this problem working on other matters, and came back (after a reboot) and it is still there, so I suspect when I thought I had it 'fixed' I was running with setenforce 0 from another problem (that is fixed).
So anyone know how to get dovecot dict connecting to mysql when enforcing? Googling is not finding any real help.

They go away when I setenforce 0.
So I googled dovecot mysql selinux and the only worthwhile hit was:
http://zszsit.blogspot.com/2012/12/dovecot-mysql-selinux-issue-on-centos6.ht...
that provides a /etc/selinux/dovecot2mysql.te
Is there a simpler way like a setsbool option?
With all the howtos on dovecot with mysql, it is interesting that none of them seem to have this problem. Maybe because they connect to mysql through TCP port 3306 which has ITS set of problems (like MariaDB defaults to not listening on TCP).
thanks!
