I recently did a clean install of FC3 on a server that was running RH8.
There were a number of PHP scripts that I had configured to send out
email for notices or passwords or the like. However, now that I've
upgraded I can't send mail through the mail() command in PHP.
My problem is exactly like what I found here, but unfortunately that
question was left unanswerd:

The "problem" is SELinux. You will find audit / avc messages in the
/var/log/messages syslog log file when you get above mentioned
permission denied message in the Apache log. This is because Apache is
not allowed to use the Postfix sendmail binary.

Else, if above does not help to modify the default policy, I would think
the question may be best asked on the
Fedora SELinux support list for users & developers.
<fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx>
mailing list - if this posting does not come to the real SELinux
professionals' attention.

THANK YOU so much! Disabling SELinux protection for apache fixed the
problem. I'll go through the documentation you mentioned to see what I
can do to use SELinux with apache while still using postfix's sendmail
interface for mail.
