Just as a note to this :-)
I wrote a little script by myself which rebuilds all db's
accordingly.
You only have to take care, that _all_ files are in /etc/mail/ (works
with symlinks too).
<cite make-all-db>
for db in genericstable virtusertable mailertable access
do
echo "makemap hash $db.db < $db"
makemap hash $db.db < $db
done
newaliases
</cite>
I have some aliases
>alias mailrights='chmod go-w / /etc /etc/mail /usr /var /var/spool
>/var/spool/mqueue && chown root / /etc/ /etc/mail /usr /var
>/var/spool /var/spool/mqueue'

So if I changed something in my sendmail-environment and I want to
make sure that everything is fine I simply hit "domail" as root and
that's it.
a) I change working directory (CWD) to /etc/mail
b) I set file- and dir-security according to
http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section3.html#3.33
c) Then I start my little script.
d) Afterwards I restart sendmail
e) And directly going into the Log to see what happend.
