[Mimedefang] Messages that slip through access db

[Steve Robb]

Actually, sendmail does not need to be restarted in order for it to re-read
the databases. By putting the information into a indexed file, it can access
the information fast enough that it doesn't need to be read into memory.
Just run your makemap and you're all set.

One reason that some messages may be slipping through is that it's being
relayed from a different domain. What do the headers look like?

Silly question; but did you restart sendmail?  You have to restart sendmail 
after making any new db maps for them to take effect.
