I think I found the smoking gun in /var/log/httpd/error_log:

[Tue Dec 25 15:41:29 2012] [error] [client ::1] Could not log into 
IMAP/POP server: Can't connect to localhost.localdomain,143: Permission 
denied, referer: 
http://localhost/mailadmin/create-mailbox.php?domain=test.htt-consult.com

Probably need a firewall rule for this port.  Probably an selinux policy 
rule as well?

In fact I either turn everything off, or go through all the prt policy 
stuff now.

[Tue Dec 25 15:41:29 2012] [error] [client ::1] PHP Notice: Unknown: 
Can't connect to localhost.localdomain,143: Permission denied (errflg=1) 
in Unknown on line 0, referer: 
http://localhost/mailadmin/create-mailbox.php?domain=test.htt-consult.com
[Tue Dec 25 15:41:29 2012] [error] [client ::1] PHP Notice: Unknown: 
Can't connect to localhost.localdomain,143: Permission denied (errflg=2) 
in Unknown on line 0, referer: 
http://localhost/mailadmin/create-mailbox.php?domain=test.htt-consult.com

More of the same.

Meanwhile a couple of other interesting messages:

[Tue Dec 25 15:36:35 2012] [error] [client ::1] File does not exist: 
/var/www/html/favicon.ico

that is over in /var/www/manual/images for some reason.

[Tue Dec 25 16:06:43 2012] [error] Exception KeyError: 
KeyError(-1216608432,) in <module 'threading' from 
'/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.pyc'> ignored

Which occurs in groupings of 8 times, so something important? is 
triggering this, but it claims 'Ignored'; should I ignore it?
