Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail "module_request" access. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by sendmail. It is not expected that this access is required by sendmail and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.

Did you do something to disable IPV6?
# cat /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf install ipv6 /bin/true Hmm, should I not do this? :) Firefox has become slow lately, and I'm just testing some theories. I can revert back, that's fine...
The problem with this is every tool that uses the network attempts to bring up ipv6, so I think you end up generating AVC's. We need a better mechanism for dropping ipv6 support. Eric?
