I am getting the following security alert.  If I am reading it right, logwatch is the culprit, so I am surprised.  The message does tell me how to allow this activity, but again if this is logwatch, why is it not setting policy right?

SELinux is preventing mktemp from write access on the directory .esmtp_queue.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests **************************

If you believe that mktemp should be allowed write access on the .esmtp_queue directory by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'mktemp' --raw | audit2allow -M my-mktemp
# semodule -X 300 -i my-mktemp.pp
