My advice would be to slow down, and solve one problem at a time. We 
were talking about testing dovecot, and now you're testing postfix.  I 
know you need them both to work, but these are separate services, with 
their own individual policies.  If you're going to submit a bug report, 
you need to be able to specifically describe the problem and the 
solution.  You're not going to do that by mixing different services 
together.

Yes, but the policy you added earlier only granted MySQL access to 
dovecot.  For postfix, you'll want to check for booleans first and then 
create a policy (without debugging AVCs) if no boolean exists, and then 
look at debugging AVCs if there are still issues (which is *almost* 
never the case).

That would be good.  Keep a log of *all* of the changes you make to the 
system, from the very beginning.  Once you resolve the problem, rebuild 
the server again and follow your log.
