One silly thing (but needs to be asked):
Did you rebuild access.db after editing access?
cd /etc/mail
vi/gedit/emacs access
make access.db
I am not sure if restarting sendmail is necessary or not (but it can't hurt):
/sbin/service sendmail restart
Also: is "FEATURE(`access_db',... " in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc? And if it
wasn't and you enabled it, did you rebuild sendmail.cf, and if you did
rebuild sendmail.cf, did you restart sendmail?
