I've installed selinux-policy-targeted-sources-1.25.1-9.noarch.rpm, edited
/etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy/domains/misc/local.te to contain:

allow system_mail_t random_device_t:chr_file getattr;
allow system_mail_t urandom_device_t:chr_file getattr;

Then did a 'make reload' in /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy as per 
instructions I found on the net.
This made the sendmail TLS errors go away, however, trying smtp auth 
saslauthd complains instead:

Jul 19 14:14:19 spock saslauthd[22499]: do_auth         : auth failure: 
[user=<edited>] [service=smtp] [realm=] [mech=shadow] [reason=Unknown]
Jul 19 14:14:19 spock saslauthd[22500]: do_auth         : auth failure: 
[user=<edited>] [service=smtp] [realm=] [mech=shadow] [reason=Unknown]

'setenforce 0' makes it all work. No avc's in the logs during enforcing 
mode.

I guess my pathetic attempts at creating local rules failed misserably :(
I'm in way over my head here I think... Any pointers?
