I get all sorts of procmail selinux issues (not to hijack this thread, 
but might
be related?).  Here is one of many:

=================================================

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/procmail "write" access on /var/spool/mqueue.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by procmail. It is not expected that 
this access
is required by procmail 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.
