The default /etc/mail/access file in a redhat system contains only 3
entries: localhost, localhost.localdomain, 127.0.0.1 which points to the
same thing: the mail server itselft. Now I know the reason why 192.168.1.x
was refused: /etc/mail/access contains syntax error and and when I upgrade
sendmail, /etc/mail/access.db did not get reflected( japanese: han-ei).
