postfix with maildir delivery

Hello,

I'm trying out SELinux on Fedora 8 in permissive mode. I get AVCs
everytime postfix delivers mail to the maildir directories. It looks
like postfix doesn't have permission to create files. For example,

from /var/log/messages:

	SELinux is preventing local (postfix_local_t) "link" to
	./1208923427.P3686.myhost (mail_spool_t)

from /var/log/audit/audit.log:

	type=AVC msg=audit(1208923427.350:95): avc: denied { link } for
	pid=3686 comm="local" name="1208923427.P3686.myhost" dev=dm-3
	ino=819271 scontext=system_u:system_r:postfix_local_t:s0
	tcontext=system_u:object_r:mail_spool_t:s0 tclass=file

	type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1208923427.350:95): arch=c000003e
	syscall=86 success=yes exit=0 a0=2aaaaad599c0 a1=2aaaaad59ba0
	a2=0 a3=0 items=0 ppid=2371 pid=3686 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0
	euid=1000 suid=0 fsuid=1000 egid=1000 sgid=0 fsgid=1000 tty=(none)
	comm="local" exe="/usr/libexec/postfix/local"
	subj=system_u:system_r:postfix_local_t:s0 key=(null)

Is my interpretation correct. If so, is it likely that this could be
corrected in a future policy version?

Thank you for you help
