spamass_selinux(8) spamass SELinux Policy documentation spamass_selinux(8)NAMEspamass_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the spamass pro‐
cesses
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the spamass processes via flexible
mandatory access control.
BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. spamass
policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
manipulate the policy and run spamass with the tightest access possi‐
ble.
If you want to allow user spamassassin clients to use the network, you
must turn on the spamassassin_can_network boolean.
setsebool -P spamassassin_can_network 1
NSSWITCH DOMAINFILE 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 spamass policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
spamass processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for spamass:
spamass_milter_data_t
- Set files with the spamass_milter_data_t type, if you want to treat
the files as spamass milter content.
Paths:
/var/run/spamass-milter(/.*)?, /var/run/spamass-milter.pid
spamass_milter_exec_t
- Set files with the spamass_milter_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
tion an executable to the spamass_milter_t domain.
spamass_milter_state_t
- Set files with the spamass_milter_state_t type, if you want to treat
the files as spamass milter state data.
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
spamass policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their spamass
processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for spamass:
spamass_milter_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.
semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
icy settings.
