Email blocking feature

2006-10-27 by An.H.Nguyen

I run two sendmail gateways with greylist, spamassassin, mimedefang.
When I try use sendmail access db to reject messages from an email address, it does not work.
Here's what I did:
add a line "annguyen251@hotmail.com REJECT" into the file /etc/mail/access
run "makemap hash access.db < access"
restart sendmail/greylist/spamassassin/mimedefang and test it but it does not block this email address...
Somehow it managed to worked only once after I "chmod 744 /etc/mail/access.db" and restart sendmail/greylist/spamassassin/mimedefang...
I could never make it work permanently. Does anyone know of a solution to do this?
Thanks,
An Nguyen
