Thanks for helping, that was my problem.

I have tried to use only those denials that seemed related to my problem 
(that means they contained "mailq" and "postqueue"). No I have got this 
working.

There is another two newbie questions if you allow:
- loading a module with semodule -i - is this permanent or temporary 
regarding reboots? I did not find any hint in web docs and man pages on 
that.
- since I have done this very careful step by step I now have lots of .te 
and .pp files. Can I simply do ca "cat *.te > all.te" and recompile it or 
is there a tool that generates a syntactically more compact .te file?
