Fedora 13, Spamassassin, and SELinux

Just installed Fedora 13, and ran into problems with spamassassin.
SELinux disallows a lot of spamassassin tasks - reporting
"If you want to allow spamassassin to bind to port 61706, you can execute
# semanage port -a -t PORT_TYPE -p udp 61706"

That of course is meaningless since the port changes all the time.

So, is SELinux still a major issue, and is the best option to turn it
off at boot time?
Or does spamassassin have an easy fix, and that is the only problem to
be expected?
IE, sshd, httpd. rsync, servers will not run into SELinux problems,
anyone knows?
