Just out of curiosity, is your sendmail compiled with the access option?
Does your sendmail.cf have any of the following lines (or similar):

#####  $Id: access_db.m4,v 8.15 1999/07/22 17:55:34 gshapiro Exp $  #####
...

# access_db acceptance class
C{Accept}OK RELAY
...

# Access list database (for spam stomping)
Kaccess hash -o /etc/mail/access

If not, then you're probably not compiled to use the access.db file.
