Allowing OpenDMARC to send mail

OpenDMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) provides an open source library that implements the DMARC verification service plus a milter-based filter application that can plug in to any milter-aware MTA, including sendmail, Postfix, or any other MTA that supports the milter protocol. One feature of OpenDMARC is that i can send email to domains who have specified in their DMARC DNS record that they wish to receive reports (either aggregate or forensic) from mail servers when a message claiming to originate from their mail domain has been received. This allows sending mail servers to possibly adjust their mail sending practices to ensure all mail they legitimately send are marked as such, and all mail sent as a spoof of their domain then be blocked by filters. opendmarc runs in selinux domain dkim_milter_t (I never got around to asking for a separate dmarc_milter_t domain), and uses popen("/usr/sbin/sendmail -t ...") to send its aggregate or forensic report. selinux policy currently prohibits this behavior. I have been trying to write a custom policy that would allow opendmarc to make the transition to sendmail_t, but have been unsuccessful, hence this plea for help. #============= dkim_milter_t ============== allow dkim_milter_t self:process setrlimit; # opendmarc calls setrlimit() allow dkim_milter_t shell_exec_t:file { execute_no_trans map entrypoint }; # opendmarc calls popen() which invokes /bin/sh allow dkim_milter_t sendmail_exec_t:file { entrypoint execute getattr open read map }; # invokes sendmail which has this file type allow dkim_milter_t sendmail_t : process transition; # allow the transition to sendmail_t type_transition dkim_milter_t sendmail_exec_t : process sendmail_t; # However, once sendmail is running and tries to create its queue files in /var/spool/mqueue which has type mqueue_spool_t, the audit logs indicate it's still running as dkim_milter_t which doesn't have permissions to manage that directory (nor should it - that's sendmail's job). type=AVC msg=audit(1662776560.507:10521833): avc: denied { create } for pid=1385220 comm="sendmail" name="df28A2Meeh1385220" scontext=system_u:system_r:dkim_milter_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:mqueue_spool_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0 What do I need to do to get opendmarc to be running in sendmail_t automatically following the popen()?
