The only thing that comes to mind..
In /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, you should have a line:
FEATURE(`access_db',`hash -o /etc/mail/access.db')dnl

And appropriate entries in /etc/mail/access:
localhost                       RELAY
127.0.0.1                       RELAY
192.168.0.1                     RELAY


'ls -l access.db'
'make' 
'ls -l access.db'

Check the time stamp on the access.db file.

Sorry, I've never used Netscape mail.
Does the users mail file exist in /var/spool/mail/username?
If they have never received mail, the file may not exist.
