Can I know why email option is not working?
The email option should work assuming that SE Linux policy allows it. I just checked the
source code. If the email address has a '@' symbol, auditd calls gethostbyname to
make sure that you don't have a typo in the email address and it can't send an
email when it needs to. Since SE Linux policy fails that, it rejects that address and then
in turn fails the startup to let you know that you have something wrong in the
configuration.
There's possibly a workaround where you use a local alias that sendmail/postfix
resolves into your real email address. This way you do not need an email address with a
'@' in it. This should be temporary until policy is fixed.
Also, when it does come time for auditd to send its first email, we still need a
transition from auditd to a mta domain. Auditd calls /usr/lib/sendmail if that matters to
anyone.
