Thanks.
selinux-policy-3.10.0-130.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/selinux-policy-3.10.0-130.fc17
3.10.0-130 is OK as it goes, but I am now getting selinux failures for dovecot-imap on dovecot-uidlist.lock (unlink, add_name, remove_name, create), dovecot.index.log (write), and dovecot-uidlist.tmp (rename). Attempting to install a policy for these gives the error: libsepol.print_missing_requirements: dovecot's global requirements were not met: type/attribute dovecot_t (No such file or directory).
Could you add AVC msgs?
