I am not sure by heart about these ones. if httpd_can_sendmail does not 
solve them,  I would need to see the AVCs

     setsebool httpd_can_sendmail 1

I am not sure about this one. I need to see the AVC but probably you need
     setsebool httpd_can_network_connect 1

     setsebool httpd_setrlimit  1

     setsebool   httpd_enable_homedirs  1

     I suggest to try audit2why in order to understand the problem 
before using audit2allow to create custom policies. In the above case I 
have a strong feeling that you do not need a custom policy but a correct 
selinux label.

     I am glad that you do try to cope with selinux but please let's not 
turn this list in a selinux-support one. If you need help with 
particular items, please ask in #centos or #selinux on freenode ( or in 
the other centos mailing list). Even fedora-selinux is a good source of 
support, as they deal over there with support for both Fedora and RHEL
     I know that the beginning is harsh ( I've been there myself and 
even after 7-8 years of usage I still need and rely on the docs .. not 
to mention the occasional cry for help sent to those who know more) but 
based on the policies that you tried to create I really think that you 
should keep http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/SelinuxBooleans and 
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux handy
