I did not enter the contents via the GUI. I copy the access file from
/etc/mail/access, download it as ASCII, edit it, upload it as ASCII, copy
it back to /etc/mail/ and run makemap hash access.db < access.

-rw-r--r--   1 root  root   915043 Jun  4 10:07 access
-rw-r-----   1 smmsp root  2531328 Jun  4 10:07 access.db

When running tail -f /var/log/maillog I will see go by:
Jun  4 08:46:35 admin sendmail[18758]: ruleset=check_relay,
arg1=236-145.chk.adsl.eastport.ru, arg2=82.179.236.145,
relay=236-145.chk.adsl.eastport.ru [82.179.236.145], reject=550 5.0.0 mail
from RU no longer accepted

Because I have in access:
ru[TAB]550 mail from RU no longer accepted

But, I also have:
ua[TAB]REJECT
And just now, spam came through from there:
Return-Path: <ybuw (at mark) bouvetcousin.com>
Received: from 12-60dabc5bb0af (89.252.2.220.freenet.com.ua [89.252.2.220]
(may be forged))
	by sub.example.com (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id m54DVAo1018485
	for <me (at mark) example.com>; Wed, 4 Jun 2008 08:31:12 -0500

That should have been rejected by SMTP upon connect from *.ua.

It's certainly frustrating. This always worked just fine on the RaQ and
editing any other text configuration file offline this way works just fine.
