This probably isn't a SpamAssassin bug. The SpamAssassin SELinux policy isn't
distributed with SpamAssassin, even on Fedora.

The question, as I see it, is why is SpamAssassin trying to use UDP port 7500?
(Is it always port 7500? If not, I'd suspect that this is just SpamAssassin
trying to do DNS-based network tests, and opening port 7500 to listen for
replies).

I suspect you're being confused by the "spamc_t", which is a SELinux type,
IIRC. I'd expect it to apply whether you're running spamassassin directly or
spamc. Note the exe="/usr/bin/perl": spamc is written in C.

In the meantime, you might want to look at system-config-selinux (from a root
terminal in X: it's also Gnome System menu -> Administration -> SELinux
Management). On the Boolean tab, look for the SpamAssassin module, check that
"allow user spamassassin clients to use the network" is enabled. You may want
to review the rest of the settings in this program.

If that doesn't help, then you might want to do what the SELinux message says,
and file a Fedora bug. The SELinux maintainers have a reputation for being very
quick off the mark.

SpamAssassin developers: I hope you don't mind me using Bugzilla in this way
until it's clear there isn't a SpamAssassin bug.
