> 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.
