Sendmail is being restarted to ensure the config files are being re-read properly. Active Monitor does run every 15 minutes and checks that it can connect to each service which is supposed to be running. What do you see when you do a "tail -f /var/log/maillog" in a root shell session? > -vi access (input all that I need, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and b.com with appended > 550 Mail rejected due to possible SPAM which is separated by a > tab).

"hash" is the correct file type, not dbm or btree. Also, you have the command "backwards" -- your command is trying to build a new access.db file from the old (binary) access.db file, not from the "raw" text file. You can just leave off the .db to make sure you don't mess it up: cd /etc/mail; makemap hash access < access > -now not sure if my access.db is valid or not, since I don't > know how to view it... makemap hash -u /etc/mail/access will list out the contents of the file. > reading further, I found out that virtusertable also is updated > whenever I hit the GUI "Save" button after email address entries > so next I tried adding > > -makemap hash virtusertable < virtusertable.db Also backwards. Just do makemap hash virtusertable < virtusertable You can put in the "-v" switch to see what it's doing too: makemap -v hash access < access makemap -v hash virtusertable < virtusertable - -- Bruce Timberlake http://www.brtnet.org/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+bioLvLA2hUZ9kgwRAlILAJ4qh57WwyfS2h/7ExB5GcLJ8ZHDGQCfXahv YbD2vxZjnq0fQvmMl42Royo= =GRCe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
