I had the same default policy for the regular user mentioned above. I 
couldn't login to X, but could work in the terminal applications alright.

I didn't know to try a policy of user_u:user_r:user_t - local mail was 
"delivered" to /dev/null or a location that I have no idea as to where 
to locate.

There were plenty of messages until I closed down mutt. They are 
unlocatable now, filed with avc errors mostly.

Thanks for the hint on policy.

Jim
