not needed. I'm presuming that its a mail gateway? If so the only place
domains should be added is the mailertable file.

Are you filtering outbound email aswell? If not remove this, if so leave
it in. 

Access.db is for allowing mail servers/people to relay through you or to
block them etc.

mailertable defines the end point mailserver for the domain that is to
be scanned.

I think that is your problem. Remove the entries from access db and you
should be set.
