You can rebuild your sendmail.cf by adjusting the mc file. A good one (in my opinion) is the generic-bsd4.4.mc. By default, it has: divert(0)dnl VERSIONID(`$Id: generic-bsd4.4.mc,v 8.10 1999/02/07 07:26:02 gshapiro Exp $') OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl DOMAIN(generic)dnl MAILER(local)dnl MAILER(smtp)dnl and doesn't include the access_db feature set. Without this feature, the access.db is ignored. So, add: FEATURE(access_db, `hash -o -T<TMPF> /etc/mail/access') to it between the DOMAIN and MAILER entries and run make in that directory and it will create a generic-bsd4.4.cf file. Just copy that to your /etc/mail as sendmail.cf (backup your original first just in case) and it should do what you're needing. If you're using the stock sendmail in FreeBSD, the .mc's should be located in /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/cf/ Hope it helps. -- Micheal Patterson Network Administration Cancer Care Network 405-733-2230 _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
