Nope. There is only one (email) account on the whole system, and that's
mine.

Nope :-) It was initially reported by another user on the fedora users
list. At the time I was still running FC8, so couldn't do too much to
help. Now it's happening to me :-( I performed a relatively basic
install of F11, but use my own exim config file. However I suspect it
may affect other F11 users if they install exim and use selinux.
