Or you could just specify the absolute pathname:

# makemap hash /etc/mail/access </etc/mail/access

But most spam with Yahoo! or Hotmail return addresses does not in fact
come from a Hotmail or Yahoo! server.  Blocking a system sending
Hotmail-return spam is not much of a loss.

This may still causes trouble for people who are (for instance) using
Outlook Express to send email with a Hotmail return address.  :/  Or if
the list software for a number of MSN mailing lists is too dumb to
notice bounce messages.
