spamass_milter_selinux(8) - Linux man page
Name
spamass_milter_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the spamass_milter processes
Description
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the spamass_milter processes via flexible mandatory access control.
The spamass_milter processes execute with the spamass_milter_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
For example:
ps -eZ | grep spamass_milter_t
Entrypoints
The spamass_milter_t SELinux type can be entered via the "spamass_milter_exec_t" file type. The default entrypoint paths for the spamass_milter_t domain are the following:"
/usr/sbin/spamass-milter
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_milter policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their spamass_milter processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for spamass_milter:
spamass_milter_t
Note: semanage permissive -a spamass_milter_t
can be used to make the process type spamass_milter_t permissive. Permissive process types are not denied access by SELinux. AVC messages will still be generated.
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 spamass_milter policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their spamass_milter processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for spamass_milter:
spamass_milter_data_t
- Set files with the spamass_milter_data_t type, if you want to treat the files as spamass milter content.
spamass_milter_exec_t
- Set files with the spamass_milter_exec_t type, if you want to transition 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 permanently change the file context you need to use the semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling database. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
Managed Files
The SELinux process type spamass_milter_t can manage files labeled with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

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 policy modules.
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
