>Description:
The default sendmail.cf file defines an access database around line 100:
# Access list database (for spam stomping)
Kaccess hash -o /etc/mail/access'
There is a trailing ' character on the line, so the database must be
named /etc/mail/access'.db
I don't know if this is a problem with the sendmail distribution or
with the config file getting messed up a bit just in freebsd 3.1.
In my particular case, I spent a few hours trying to figure out why
my access.db wouldn't work, until I decided to remove the '-o' option
from the Kaccess line in sendmail.cf. At that point, sendmail
complained that it couldn't find /etc/mail/access'.db which made me
look closer at sendmail.cf and figure out what was wrong.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to use the access.db feature in sendmail
>Fix:
Remove the tick (') !
Maybe put this into the ERRATA.txt file for 3.1-RELEASE?
