Am guessing access.db is a hashed database > file. So how is it created? I'm not running 3.1 (that is your version right?) so I can't give you step by step for the delivered sendmail.cf But, if you go to www.sendmail.org and look at "Configuration Information", "Anti-Spam Configuration Control" you'll see the available options. Our stock sendmail will be using one of them. I use access_db for our sendmail but the standard version may be using one of the other db's. For me, building the access.db is # makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access Dan -- Dan Busarow 949 443 4172 Dana Point Communications, Inc. dan@dpcsys.com Dana Point, California 83 09 EF 59 E0 11 89 B4 8D 09 DB FD E1 DD 0C 82 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
