[Mimedefang] Off topic

[Shawn Button]

The echo command reports:

> Map named "access" not found

I tried both variations in the Feature line in the mc, processed via m4
and restarted sendmail each time...still nada...

Thank you,

Shawn

What is your line in sendmail.mc file to call the access? Probably you
are
running Redhat, so this line is FEATURE(`access_db',`hash -T<TMPF> -o
/etc/mail/access.db')dnl
Change it to FEATURE(access_db)dnl and test again,
or FEATURE(`access_db',`hash -T<TMPF> /etc/mail/access.db')dnl
Leave the -o out as it leads to omit the access.db if there is something
not
correct with it.

echo "/map access 127.0.0.1" | sendmail -bt -d39.20
Does this report any failure?
