Did you rebuild the access db after modifying the source file?

makemap hash access.db < access

>Anyone know how to do this?

Yep, we use -
#Kaccess hash /etc/mail/access
Kaccess ldap -1 -v morrisonmailaccesslevel -k
(&(objectClass=morrisonmailaccess)(morrisonmailaccesscriteria=%0))

dn: cn=Reject SMTP,ou=Access Control,ou=Electronic Mail,o=Morrison
Industries,c=US
objectClass: morrisonmailaccess
morrisonmailaccesslevel: REJECT
cn: Reject SMTP
morrisonmailaccesscriteria: smartbrief.rsvp0.net
morrisonmailaccesscriteria: nawd.org
morrisonmailaccesscriteria: enginesupportteam.com
morrisonmailaccesscriteria: legal456554@msn.com
morrisonmailaccesscriteria: legal112345@msn.com
morrisonmailaccesscriteria: legal555555@msn.com
morrisonmailaccesscriteria: legal346996@msn.com
morrisonmailaccesscriteria: legal436586@msn.com
morrisonmailaccesscriteria: legal543118@msn.com

which corresponds to something like

smartbrief.rsvp0.net		REJECT
nawd.org			REJECT
legal456554@msn.com		REJECT
legal112345@msn.com		REJECT
legal555555@msn.com		REJECT
legal346996@msn.com		REJECT
legal436586@msn.com		REJECT
legal543118@msn.com		REJECT

If you do something like "sendmail -v -d21 yoyo@mama.com<enter>.<enter>"
you should be able to see the criteria it checks for.
