You need to write a custom policy to allow connection and writing to the socket. How to do this is covered in the SELinux Wiki guide here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux#head-faa96b3fdd922004cdb988c1989e56191c257c01 and luckily for you, the example used is for postgrey/postfix so you can use the example provided. Hope that helps.
