sendmail newbie - 'access_db'.m4

[yannos]

hi,
I'm trying to kick out spammers with access.db, after have done &quot;makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access&quot;, i need to generate a new sendmail.cf, because the old one does not include &quot;FEATURE('access_db', 'hash -o /etc/mail/access')dnl&quot;, but I get an error message :

m4 ../m4/cf.m4 canibals.mc > canibals-yann.cf
m4: ../feature/'access_db'.m4: No such file or directory

whats wrong...

try this:

FEATURE(`access_db', `hash -o /etc/mail/access')dnl

FEATURE<open Bracket><back tick>access.db<forward tick>, <back tick>hash -o /etc/mail/access<forward tick><close backet>dnl
