Done and yes it is working fine in permissive mode.

Note:  Sendmail is working perfectly except for an inability to forward
messages to mailman.  The problem is that when messages arrive for a
mailman mailing list, somewhere while being passed from sendmail to
mailman, we get the selinux rejection quoted in my first Email.

My aliases file has:

mailman:   "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"

(this alias having been added by mailman) and when I post a message to
that EMail address, I get the complaints quoted in the earlier EMail.
In permissive mode, it works.

Thus, the complaint that python running with sendmail's ssecurity token
needs to access something with a mailman-related security token.

As you suggest, I have *not* changed mailman to use sendmail. 

   Thanks,
