The missing double quote was a typo in the email only, I have since removed
the rblsmtpd from the line and I still get the access denied error.
The problem is the access denied error and not the rblsmtpd.
Here is the output from you advice;
mail# ls -ld /etc /etc/tcpcontrol /etc/tcpcontrol/smtp.cdb
drwxr-xr-x 15 root wheel 5632 Sep 28 15:48 /etc
drwxr-x--- 3 root wheel 512 Sep 28 15:49 /etc/tcpcontrol
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 8886 Sep 28 15:48 /etc/tcpcontrol/smtp.cdb
