This sounds like a sendmail question to me, unless I'm reading it wrong.

If it is sendmail, and you have the "strings" command (part of the binutils RPM 
on my Red Hat server) you can use it to show the printable characters contained 
inside the db file:

strings /path/to/access.db

If your question wasn't sendmail related, I apologize...
