So I did a bit more poking around and found out the following. The
Makefile is updated based on the contents of /etc/mail/databases. If I
add an entry in this file for the mailertable and access table then
execute the make it will generate the files correctly.

This may be just a feature request at this point, since I now know what
is causing the problem and how to make the system behave the way I want
it to.

So the feature request would be to have the Makefile default to a hash
method of handling the mailertable and access table files if it finds
them in the directory, as it gets confusing when all the documentation
that I can find indicates that all you need to do is add a mailertable
file into the /etc/mail directory type make and it will be built.
