6 mailman_mail_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mail‐
7 man_mail processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mailman_mail processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The mailman_mail processes execute with the mailman_mail_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep mailman_mail_t
20
21
22
24 The mailman_mail_t SELinux type can be entered via the mail‐
25 man_mail_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the mailman_mail_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/mailman.*/mail/wrapper, /usr/lib/mailman.*/mail/mailman,
31 /usr/lib/mailman.*/mail/wrapper, /usr/lib/mailman.*/bin/mailmanctl,
32 /usr/lib/mailman.*/scripts/mailman, /usr/lib/mailman.*/bin/mm-han‐
33 dler.*, /usr/share/doc/mailman.*/mm-handler.*, /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mm-
34 handler.*, /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl
35
37 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
38 system
39
40 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
41
42 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
43 mailman_mail policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
44 mailman_mail processes in as secure a method as possible.
45
46 The following process types are defined for mailman_mail:
47
48 mailman_mail_t
49
50 Note: semanage permissive -a mailman_mail_t can be used to make the
51 process type mailman_mail_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
52 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
53 still generated.
54
55
57 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. mail‐
58 man_mail policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
59 allow you to manipulate the policy and run mailman_mail with the tight‐
60 est access possible.

257 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
258 type.
259
260 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
261
262 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
263 SELinux mailman_mail policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
264 their mailman_mail processes in as secure a method as possible.
265
266 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
267
268 SELinux defines the file context types for the mailman_mail, if you
269 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
270 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
271 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
272
273 semanage fcontext -a -t mailman_mail_tmp_t '/srv/mymailman_mail_con‐
274 tent(/.*)?'
275 restorecon -R -v /srv/mymailman_mail_content
276
277 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
278 match multiple files.
279
280 The following file types are defined for mailman_mail:
281
282
283
284 mailman_mail_exec_t
285
286 - Set files with the mailman_mail_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
287 tion an executable to the mailman_mail_t domain.
288
289
290 Paths:
291 /usr/mailman.*/mail/wrapper, /usr/lib/mailman.*/mail/mailman,
292 /usr/lib/mailman.*/mail/wrapper, /usr/lib/mailman.*/bin/mail‐
293 manctl, /usr/lib/mailman.*/scripts/mailman, /usr/lib/mail‐
294 man.*/bin/mm-handler.*, /usr/share/doc/mailman.*/mm-handler.*,
295 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mm-handler.*, /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl
296
297
298 mailman_mail_tmp_t
299
300 - Set files with the mailman_mail_tmp_t type, if you want to store
301 mailman mail temporary files in the /tmp directories.
302
303
304
305 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
306 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
307 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
308 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
309
310
312 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
313 mappings.
314
315 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
316 process type is permissive.
317
318 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
319 icy modules.
320
321 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
322
323
324 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
325 icy settings.
