dovecot - Apr 2017 - Problems with Dovecot to mysql socket with SELinux

Anyone here running Dovecot connecting to mysql through the mysql.sock 
with SELinux enabled?

I am getting access errors that go away when I put SELinux in permissive 
mode.  I cannot find any direct help on this.  Most howtos say to 
disable SELinux; they just don't want to bother, and in part I can see that.

I have tried making a policy with allow2access and I get really bad 
SELinux errors with that.

So I am looking to see if anyone else is running this combination?

thanks

I ran in to other issues with SELinux not being able to get to the TLS certs. 

Got the same advice and shut off SELinux. 

I?d say use MariaDB over mySQL.
