Ok, my apologies. It seems some of the answers focused on "it doesn't work like that"
What I need is to have any IPs listed in the /etc/postfix/access file with a directive of "OK" be allowed to send mail Any IPs attempting to send mail to this particular mail server that are not listed in that file are denied access.

It seems your question isn't clear to us. A number of people have given reasonable answers which apparently don't fit your requirements. Please describe in detail the behavior you want, without referencing Sendmail nor terms such as "access" and "relay" that apparently mean different things to different people. Then, if a suggested solution doesn't meet your requirements, please describe the defect rather than just repeating the question. Thanks. -- Noel Jones
