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:

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:

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?
