I think this has to do with exim trying to send logs? Should I actually bug-report? or just use the audit2allow -M local < /tmp/avcs

Summary:

SELinux is preventing sendmail (exim_t) "getattr" to pipe (system_crond_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by sendmail. It is not expected that this access is required by sendmail and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.

I will update policy to allow this. Although this probably does not stop anything from functioning properly.
