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 disable ipv6?

I'm getting the same warning, and I have disabled ipv6 indeed. Should I enable it again?
No you can just ignore the AVC. We hope to have a newer kernel so the troubleshooter can check and just ignore the AVC for you.
