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? -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller at deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments
