Hi,

Spamassassin has been working nicely on my main server running CentOS 7
and Postfix. SELinux is activated (Enforcing).

Since the most recent update (don't know if it's related to it though)
I'm getting the following SELinux error.

--8<-----------------------------------------------------------------
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/perl from 'read, write' accesses on the
file /var/log/spamassassin/.spamassassin/bayes_toks.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests
**************************

If you believe that perl should be allowed read write access on the
bayes_toks file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c '7370616D64206368696C64' --raw | audit2allow -M
my-7370616D64206368696C64
# semodule -i my-7370616D64206368696C64.pp

Policy Type                   targeted
Enforcing Mode                Enforcing

--8<-----------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately the suggested solution does not work, e. g. the following
command returns nothing:

# ausearch -c '7370616D64206368696C64' --raw

Now I'm clueless. Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Niki
