Weird selinux problem with sendmail

I loaded F8 onto my old mail server computer and started to 
reassemble it.  But I'm getting a strange message from sendmail and a 
selinux avc to go with it.  I do not have a .forward file and I have 
an almost identical system running that doesn't have one either and 
doesn't give any errors.  I don't know if this is a sendmail problem 
or a selinux problem.  The mail comes and goes OK.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

knute...
