I am having problems getting bounces to work through bav. When I reply to a mailing, I get the following errors sent back to me:

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
ext_1@bounce.host.ourcompany.com
(reason: Can't create output)
(expanded from: <openemm@host.ourcompany.com>)

550 5.0.0 ext_1@bounce.host.ourcompany.com... Can't create output


I believe this is related to my bav problems. Does anyone have any suggestions?

more clues: I can run procmail from the command line and it works fine with bav.rc. This is all on Fedora 5

I added VERBOSE and now get the following:

Does anyone have the bav filter working on Fedora?

Finally found the problem. The default for Fedora configures the SELinux policy for procmail so that it will not run the bav scripts as setup in the OpenEMM RPM package. You must disable SELinux or change the policy for procmail.

Thanks for the feedback! Did you disable SELinux or do you have changed the policy? If so, could you be so kind to post the policy (and probably save other Fedora users hours of work fiddling with the SELinux rules)?
