As author of the 'tip', I read the thread with interest -- I 
was travelling, and have now returned where I may help.  You 
have done fine so far:

This is fine, and sufficient as well ... Recall that you are
going from sendmail-8.11 to sendmail-8.12, and there is a
change in the 'access' list hashing function syntax.  It is
documented in the sendmail-cf REAME, but is hard to find and 
understand.

yes, absolutely -- the answer has found you, instead <smile>.  
-- I have amended:
        http://www.owlriver.com/tips/smtp-auth.html at its new 
section 1.5    

dnl dnl
dnl -- added for clarification for  Teodor Georgiev and           dnl
dnl    Martin Mewes on thread: [RedHat 7.2] sendmail + smtp-auth  dnl
dnl dnl
dnl -- old form access hash pre 8.12 
dnl dnl  ---  FEATURE(`access_db',`hash -o 
/etc/mail/access.db')dnl
FEATURE(`access_db',`hash -T<TMPF> -o /etc/mail/access.db')dnl
FEATURE(`blacklist_recipients')dnl

Please note the NEW form of the hash function in sendmail.mc 
and note expecially the addition of ' -T<TMPF> ' in the 
new hash form.  That is all there is to it.

Please try it, and let us know.  This should solve that issue.  
The answer is not generally findable, for third party
sendmail-8.12 support is still quite young, and sendmail.mc
edit are considered 'deep magic' -- that tip strives to make
it a bit easier.  Good luck.

The full (although rather different) sendmail.mc which I use 
(with some parts removed for clarity) is now linked in as 
well.
