1) What does `file access access.db` produce?

2) Can you isolate the failure to a specific line in access?

i'm starting from scratch, there is currently only one line in the
access file, once everything is up and running i'll populate it with
more entries.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18 2009-11-16 09:58 access
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 2009-11-16 09:58 access.db

# file access*
access: ASCII text
access.db: empty

# cat access
64.81.52.5 RELAY

in all the years, i've never been this puzzled by a problem... it's been
two days and countless recompiles later, and still not a clue why this
is happening.

i wonder if i should try an older version of berkeleydb instead...

I know you're already thinking about it but just for info
what gives the DB inborn check?:
# sendmail -bv -d0.1 | grep DB

FYI; problem solved.

downgraded to BerkeleyDB db-4.5.20 everything works now

it looks like downloading the latest stable release is not always the
best thing you can do ;)
