Check the timestamp on /etc/mail/access.db . has it been updated? run `make` in the /etc/mail directory (if there's a Makefile), specifically you need to run:

makemap hash access.db < access

That's the only thing that jumps out at me.

hi all,

configuration:

redhat 7.3 with most updates
linux 2.4.9-21
python 1.5.2
sendmail 8.11.6
mailman 2.0.13
Apache 1.3.22

i'm having a bit of trouble getting mail sent out from my
recently-installed list server. according to my sendmail
documentation i'm allowing relay from my local host, and in
fact in
/etc/mail/access

i have:

# Check the /usr/share/doc/sendmail-8.11.6/README.cf file for a description
# of the format of this file. (search for access_db in that file)
# The /usr/share/doc/sendmail-8.11.6/README.cf is part of the sendmail-doc
# package.
#
# by default we allow relaying from localhost...
localhost.localdomain RELAY
localhost RELAY
127.0.0.1 RELAY

the symptom is that i can access my list's subscription
website and subscribe. i get the next page that says:

Confirmation from your email address is required, to
prevent anyone from subscribing you without permission.

and then i see in my /var/log/messages:

Nov 6 11:17:06 magritte sendmail[22687]: gA6JH6J22687:
ruleset=check_rcpt, arg1=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
relay=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1], reject=551 5.7.1 we do not relay
