You posted earlier that you were trying to get mailstats.pl working.  mailstats.pl doesn't just produce statistics, it also will automatically add the ip of spam senders to sendmails blacklist [note this can be turned off in the mailstats config file] - it looks like perhaps that is what is happening. AFAIK MS and SA don't alter sendmails access datbase themselves.
