There is a problem with those hash/btree database. Linuxconf was using
btree by default as it was available on all sendmail binary I have seen.
This is configurable in linuxconf. The standard RPM from redhat switch the
default to hash, but my RPM is still using btree.
I suspect you created the sendmail.cf with the original linuxconf from
redhat, or simply kept the sendmail.cf provided with the installation, but
now, you have generating the deny file with the new linuxconf which create
the index (deny.db) using the btree format.
I suggest you simply re-generate your sendmail.cf with linuxconf 1.13r12
and things will be fine.
