I have a lot of avc messages in my log file indicating a problem with 
spamassassin/mqueue.
I am running FC6 with a standard installation and don't know why there 
is a problem with the directory /var/spool/mqueue.
    $ ls -Zd mqueue
    drwx------  root mail system_u:object_r:mqueue_spool_t mqueue/

Do I need to change the context for this directory?

Below are some of the messages from my log file:
