Looking in /var/log/messages, I see a whole bunch of these:

Feb 24 16:53:32 fcshome kernel: type=1400 audit(1361742812.414:9): avc:  denied  { search } for  pid=3381 comm="procmail" name="Mail" dev=dm-2 ino=6162243 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:procmail_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=dir

which I GUESS is telling me selinxu is whining about SOMETHING, but I 
don't know enough about it to tell what.

Advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Fred
