I'm not a computer professional but I run some Email lists using
Listar on a debian hamm machine (I've never had time or felt the
need to upgrade) and things have run fine for some years but now
I've got a bouncer. I've blocked him with listar but I'm still getting a
bounce to me as admin. every two minutes and I'd like to block
that too. I'm running sendmail 8.9. The bounce is coming with
headers:

I want, for the moment, to simply swallow and block anything from
stockholm.se and wm.net but I can't seem to work out how to get
the access database working in sendmail. Here are my
permission settings:
1 -rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon daemon 225 Jun 16 21:18 access
1 -rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon daemon 225 Jun 16 21:18 access~
1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 37 Jun 16 21:24 sendmail.cw
0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 16 21:24 sendmail.ct
3 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2687 Jun 16 21:25 sendmail.mc~
3 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2706 Jun 16 21:30 sendmail.mc
34 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33232 Jun 16 21:30 sendmail.cf
1 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Jun 16 21:34 .
17 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20480 Jun 16 21:34 access.db
Here's the evidence from sendmail.cf and I have restarted sendmail
grep access sendmail.cf

Anyone see where I'm going wrong or suggest any other way I can
block these hosts?
TIA,
