sendmail -bv does not check the recipient address against your access.db 
To to that, try the following:

# sendmail -bt
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter <ruleset> <address>
 > check_rcpt <uucp at my.domain>
...lots of output...

Rcpt_ok          returns: $# error $@ 5 . 2 . 1 $: "550 Mailbox disabled 
for this recipient"
Basic_check_rcpt returns: $# error $@ 5 . 2 . 1 $: "550 Mailbox disabled 
for this recipient"
check_rcpt       returns: $# error $@ 5 . 2 . 1 $: "550 Mailbox disabled 
for this recipient"

alternatively, use telnet to fake an SMTP connection to your server.
