Frankly, if you got a problem with SELinux regarding procmail not being 
allowed to access your maillog, then something is screwed up on your 
machine. I don't have SELinux enabled, but I run it in permissive mode and 
I did not ever get a warning from SELinux in regard to 
sendmail/MailScanner/procmail. Of course, it's possible that the SELinux 
policy coming with FC5 is different from the policy in RHEL4. I wouldn't 
just skip that, especially not if my earlier machine got hacked.
