not sure about sendmail as I don't use it, but the other two don't have a 
gentoo policy.
there is policy available for them on the selinux.sf.net CVS.
a quick view here:

I use these two on a production server so their policy should be up-to-date.
courier-imap is also supported if you hesitate about cyrus-imapd.

we have policy for qmail and postfix

some have reported success with the not-yet-supported x11 policy.
you can test it to see if it fits
