NAME
       mailman_selinux	-  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mailman pro‐
       cesses

DESCRIPTION
       Security-Enhanced Linux secures	the  mailman  processes	 via  flexible
       mandatory access control.

NSSWITCH DOMAIN
       If  you	want  to allow users to login using a sssd serve for the mail‐
       man_mail_t,  mailman_cgi_t,  mailman_queue_t,  you  must	 turn  on  the
       authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean.

       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1

       If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos for the
       mailman_mail_t, mailman_cgi_t, mailman_queue_t, you must	 turn  on  the
       allow_kerberos boolean.

       setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1

       If  you	want  to  allow	 system to run with NI for the mailman_mail_t,
       mailman_cgi_t, mailman_queue_t, you must turn on the allow_ypbind bool‐
       ean.

       setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1

FILE CONTEXTS
       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
       type.

       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls

       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to	 these	files.
       SELinux	mailman	 policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
       mailman processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following file types are defined for mailman:

       mailman_archive_t

       - Set files with the mailman_archive_t type, if you want to  treat  the
       files as mailman archive data.

       mailman_cgi_exec_t

       - Set files with the mailman_cgi_exec_t type, if you want to transition
       an executable to the mailman_cgi_t domain.

       mailman_cgi_tmp_t

       - Set files with the mailman_cgi_tmp_t type, if you want to store mail‐
       man cgi temporary files in the /tmp directories.

       mailman_data_t

       -  Set  files  with  the	 mailman_data_t type, if you want to treat the
       files as mailman content.

       Paths:
	    /etc/mailman.*, /var/spool/mailman.*, /var/lib/mailman.*

       mailman_lock_t

       - Set files with the mailman_lock_t type, if  you  want	to  treat  the
       files as mailman lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory

       mailman_log_t

       -  Set files with the mailman_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
       as mailman log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.

       mailman_mail_exec_t

       - Set files with the mailman_mail_exec_t type, if you want  to  transi‐
       tion an executable to the mailman_mail_t domain.

       Paths:
	    /usr/lib/mailman.*/mail/mailman,	/usr/lib/mailman.*/bin/mm-han‐
	    dler.*,   /usr/share/doc/mailman.*/mm-handler.*,	/usr/lib/mail‐
	    man.*/bin/mailmanctl, /usr/lib/mailman.*/scripts/mailman

       mailman_mail_tmp_t

       -  Set  files  with  the	 mailman_mail_tmp_t type, if you want to store
       mailman mail temporary files in the /tmp directories.

       mailman_queue_exec_t

       - Set files with the mailman_queue_exec_t type, if you want to  transi‐
       tion an executable to the mailman_queue_t domain.

       Paths:
	    /usr/lib/mailman.*/cron/.*, /usr/lib/mailman.*/bin/qrunner

       mailman_queue_tmp_t

       -  Set  files  with  the mailman_queue_tmp_t type, if you want to store
       mailman queue temporary files in the /tmp directories.

       mailman_var_run_t

       - Set files with the mailman_var_run_t type, if you want to  store  the
       mailman files under the /run directory.

       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
       If you want to permanantly change the file context you need to use  the
       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

PROCESS TYPES
       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
       system

       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps

       Policy  governs	the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
       mailman policy is very flexible allowing users to setup	their  mailman
       processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following process types are defined for mailman:

       mailman_cgi_t, mailman_mail_t, mailman_queue_t

       Note: semanage permissive -a PROCESS_TYPE can be used to make a process
       type permissive. Permissive process types  are  not  denied  access  by
       SELinux. AVC messages will still be generated.

COMMANDS
       semanage	 fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
       mappings.

       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or	not  a
       process type is permissive.

       semanage	 module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
       icy modules.

       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
       icy settings.
