Am I missing something about portsentry?

    In the process of pentesting a machine on local network I got locked out of
    it due to port sentry. I kept spoofing MAC addreses, and finally got in
    with an SMTP exploit.
    
    Some of the admin stuff has to be done only from a specific MAC address,
    but its now locked out. I went to portsentry.history and removed the IP
    address, and removed it from portsentry.blocked.udp, portsentry.blocked and
    portsentry.blocked.tcp . I even added it to portsentry.ignore. The IP
    address that was black listed still not able to connect, I get connection
    to host lost error. I'm sure it's because portsentry.conf file has
    KILL_ROUTE="/sbin/route add -host $TARGET$ reject".
    
    I tried deleting the route, but nothing seems to be working. Any
    suggestions?
    
    thanks
