As far as I know, /etc/mail/access doesn't have the feature to reference external file.<br />
Also, you need to use the makemap utility program to create the database map. <br />
To create the access database map, use the following command:<br />
# makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db &lt;&nbsp;/etc/mail/access<br />
<br />

Redhat, /etc/mail/access<br />
<br />
I am adding thousands of DISCARDs to /etc/mail/access. &nbsp;Is it possible to have the access file reference external files.<br />
<br />
For example, can I have:<br />
<br />
From:[1.1.1.1] OK<br />
From:[1.1.1.2] OK<br />
File: /nas/companyA<br />
File: /nas/companyB<br />
<br />
This way, I need thousands of lines in /etc/mail/access
