blocking a bouncer

["Chris Evans" <chris@psyctc.org>]

I'm not a computer professional but I run some Email lists using 
Listar on a debian hamm machine (I've never had time or felt the 
need to upgrade) and things have run fine for some years but now 
I've got a bouncer.  I've blocked him with listar but I'm still getting a 
bounce to me as admin. every two minutes and I'd like to block 
that too.  I'm running sendmail 8.9.  The bounce is coming with 
headers:

I want, for the moment, to simply swallow and block anything from 
stockholm.se and wm.net but I can't seem to work out how to get 
the access database working in sendmail.  Here are my 
permission settings:

   1 -rw-rw-r--   1 daemon   daemon        225 Jun 16 21:18 access
   1 -rw-rw-r--   1 daemon   daemon        225 Jun 16 21:18 access~
   1 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root           37 Jun 16 21:24 sendmail.cw
   0 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root            0 Jun 16 21:24 sendmail.ct
   3 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root         2687 Jun 16 21:25 sendmail.mc~
   3 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root         2706 Jun 16 21:30 sendmail.mc
  34 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root        33232 Jun 16 21:30 sendmail.cf
   1 drwxr-xr-x   3 root     root         1024 Jun 16 21:34 .
  17 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root        20480 Jun 16 21:34 access.db

Here's the evidence from sendmail.cf and I have restarted sendmail
grep access sendmail.cf

                        $: <USER $(access $2@$3$4 $: ? $) > <$1> $2 < @ $3 > $4
                        $: <USER $(access $2@$3 $: ? $) > <$1> $2 < @ $3 > $4
# check unqualified user in access database
R<?> $*                 $: <USER $(access $1@ $: ? $) > <?> $1
R<$+> $*                $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: $1          error from access db

Anyone see where I'm going wrong or suggest any other way I can 
block these hosts?

TIA,


Chris
