2# NAME
3#	mysql_table 5
4# SUMMARY
5#	Postfix MySQL client configuration
6# SYNOPSIS
7#	\fBpostmap -q "\fIstring\fB" mysql:/etc/postfix/\fIfilename\fR
8#
9#	\fBpostmap -q - mysql:/etc/postfix/\fIfilename\fB <\fIinputfile\fR
10# DESCRIPTION
11#	The Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address
12#	rewriting or mail routing. These tables are usually in
13#	\fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
14#
15#	Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified as MySQL databases.
16#	In order to use MySQL lookups, define a MySQL source as a lookup
17#	table in main.cf, for example:
18# .nf
19#	    alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-aliases.cf
20# .fi
21#
22#	The file /etc/postfix/mysql-aliases.cf has the same format as
23#	the Postfix main.cf file, and can specify the parameters
24#	described below.
25# LIST MEMBERSHIP
26# .ad
27# .fi
28#	When using SQL to store lists such as $mynetworks,
29#	$mydestination, $relay_domains, $local_recipient_maps,
30#	etc., it is important to understand that the table must
31#	store each list member as a separate key. The table lookup
32#	verifies the *existence* of the key. See "Postfix lists
33#	versus tables" in the DATABASE_README document for a
34#	discussion.
35#
36#	Do NOT create tables that return the full list of domains
37#	in $mydestination or $relay_domains etc., or IP addresses
38#	in $mynetworks.
39#
40#	DO create tables with each matching item as a key and with
41#	an arbitrary value. With SQL databases it is not uncommon to
42#	return the key itself or a constant value.
43# MYSQL PARAMETERS
44# .ad
45# .fi
46# .IP "\fBhosts\fR"
47#	The hosts that Postfix will try to connect to and query from.
48#	Specify \fIunix:\fR for UNIX domain sockets, \fIinet:\fR for TCP
49#	connections (default).  Examples:
50# .nf
51#	    hosts = inet:host1.some.domain inet:host2.some.domain:port
52#	    hosts = host1.some.domain host2.some.domain:port
53#	    hosts = unix:/file/name
54# .fi
55#
56#	The hosts are tried in random order, with all connections over
57#	UNIX domain sockets being tried before those over TCP.	The
58#	connections are automatically closed after being idle for about
59#	1 minute, and are re-opened as necessary. Postfix versions 2.0
60#	and earlier do not randomize the host order.
61#
62#	NOTE: if you specify localhost as a hostname (even if you
63#	prefix it with \fIinet:\fR), MySQL will connect to the default
64#	UNIX domain socket.  In order to instruct MySQL to connect to
65#	localhost over TCP you have to specify
66# .nf
67#	    hosts = 127.0.0.1
68# .fi
69# .IP "\fBuser\fR"
70# .IP "\fBpassword\fR"
71#	The user name and password to log into the mysql server.
72#	Example:
73# .nf
74#	    user = someone
75#	    password = some_password
76# .fi
77# .IP "\fBdbname\fR"
78#	The database name on the servers. Example:
79# .nf
80#	    dbname = customer_database
81# .fi
82# .IP "\fBquery\fR"
83#	The SQL query template used to search the database, where \fB%s\fR
84#	is a substitute for the address Postfix is trying to resolve,
85#	e.g.
86# .nf
87#	    query = SELECT replacement FROM aliases WHERE mailbox = '%s'
88# .fi
89#
90#	By default, every query must return a result set (instead
91#	of storing its results in a table); with "\fBrequire_result_set
92#	= no\fR" (Postfix 3.2 and later), the absence of a result
93#	set is treated as "not found".
94#
95#	This parameter supports the following '%' expansions:
96# .RS
97# .IP "\fB%%\fR"
98#	This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
99# .IP "\fB%s\fR"
100#	This is replaced by the input key.
101#	SQL quoting is used to make sure that the input key does not
102#	add unexpected metacharacters.
103# .IP "\fB%u\fR"
104#	When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%u\fR
105#	is replaced by the SQL quoted local part of the address.
106#	Otherwise, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the entire search string.
107#	If the localpart is empty, the query is suppressed and returns
108#	no results.
109# .IP "\fB%d\fR"
110#	When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%d\fR
111#	is replaced by the SQL quoted domain part of the address.
112#	Otherwise, the query is suppressed and returns no results.
113# .IP "\fB%[SUD]\fR"
114#	The upper-case equivalents of the above expansions behave in the
115#	\fBquery\fR parameter identically to their lower-case counter-parts.
116#	With the \fBresult_format\fR parameter (see below), they expand the
117#	input key rather than the result value.
118# .IP "\fB%[1-9]\fR"
119#	The patterns %1, %2, ... %9 are replaced by the corresponding
120#	most significant component of the input key's domain. If the
121#	input key is \fIuser@mail.example.com\fR, then %1 is \fBcom\fR,
122#	%2 is \fBexample\fR and %3 is \fBmail\fR. If the input key is
123#	unqualified or does not have enough domain components to satisfy
124#	all the specified patterns, the query is suppressed and returns
125#	no results.
126# .RE
127# .IP
128#	The \fBdomain\fR parameter described below limits the input
129#	keys to addresses in matching domains. When the \fBdomain\fR
130#	parameter is non-empty, SQL queries for unqualified addresses
131#	or addresses in non-matching domains are suppressed
132#	and return no results.
133#
134#	This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2. In prior releases
135#	the SQL query was built from the separate parameters:
136#	\fBselect_field\fR, \fBtable\fR, \fBwhere_field\fR and
137#	\fBadditional_conditions\fR. The mapping from the old parameters
138#	to the equivalent query is:
139#
140# .nf
141#	    SELECT [\fBselect_field\fR]
142#	    FROM [\fBtable\fR]
143#	    WHERE [\fBwhere_field\fR] = '%s'
144#	          [\fBadditional_conditions\fR]
145# .fi
146#
147#	The '%s' in the \fBWHERE\fR clause expands to the escaped search string.
148#	With Postfix 2.2 these legacy parameters are used if the \fBquery\fR
149#	parameter is not specified.
150#
151#	NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the query parameter.
152# .IP "\fBresult_format (default: \fB%s\fR)\fR"
153#	Format template applied to result attributes. Most commonly used
154#	to append (or prepend) text to the result. This parameter supports
155#	the following '%' expansions:
156# .RS
157# .IP "\fB%%\fR"
158#	This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
159# .IP "\fB%s\fR"
160#	This is replaced by the value of the result attribute. When
161#	result is empty it is skipped.
162# .IP "\fB%u\fR
163#	When the result attribute value is an address of the form
164#	user@domain, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the local part of the
165#	address. When the result has an empty localpart it is skipped.
166# .IP "\fB%d\fR"
167#	When a result attribute value is an address of the form
168#	user@domain, \fB%d\fR is replaced by the domain part of
169#	the attribute value. When the result is unqualified it
170#	is skipped.
171# .IP "\fB%[SUD1-9]\fR"
172#	The upper-case and decimal digit expansions interpolate
173#	the parts of the input key rather than the result. Their
174#	behavior is identical to that described with \fBquery\fR,
175#	and in fact because the input key is known in advance, queries
176#	whose key does not contain all the information specified in
177#	the result template are suppressed and return no results.
178# .RE
179# .IP
180#	For example, using "result_format = smtp:[%s]" allows one
181#	to use a mailHost attribute as the basis of a transport(5)
182#	table. After applying the result format, multiple values
183#	are concatenated as comma separated strings. The expansion_limit
184#	and parameter explained below allows one to restrict the number
185#	of values in the result, which is especially useful for maps that
186#	must return at most one value.
187#
188#	The default value \fB%s\fR specifies that each result value should
189#	be used as is.
190#
191#	This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
192#
193#	NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the result format!
194# .IP "\fBdomain (default: no domain list)\fR"
195#	This is a list of domain names, paths to files, or "type:table"
196#	databases. When specified, only fully qualified search keys
197#	with a *non-empty* localpart and a matching domain are
198#	eligible for lookup: 'user' lookups, bare domain lookups
199#	and "@domain" lookups are not performed. This can significantly
200#	reduce the query load on the MySQL server.
201# .nf
202#	    domain = postfix.org, hash:/etc/postfix/searchdomains
203# .fi
204#
205#	It is best not to use SQL to store the domains eligible
206#	for SQL lookups.
207#
208#	This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
209#
210#	NOTE: DO NOT define this parameter for local(8) aliases,
211#	because the input keys are always unqualified.
212# .IP "\fBexpansion_limit (default: 0)\fR"
213#	A limit on the total number of result elements returned
214#	(as a comma separated list) by a lookup against the map.
215#	A setting of zero disables the limit. Lookups fail with a
216#	temporary error if the limit is exceeded.  Setting the
217#	limit to 1 ensures that lookups do not return multiple
218#	values.
219# .IP "\fBoption_file\fR"
220#	Read options from the given file instead of the default my.cnf
221#	location. This reads options from the \fB[client]\fR option
222#	group, optionally followed by options from the group given
223#	with \fBoption_group\fR.
224# .sp
225#	This parameter is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
226# .IP "\fBoption_group (default: Postfix >=3.2: client, <= 3.1: empty)\fR"
227#	Read options from the given group of the mysql options file,
228#	after reading options from the \fB[client]\fR group.
229# .sp
230#	Postfix 3.2 and later read \fB[client]\fR option group
231#	settings by default. To disable this specify no \fBoption_file\fR
232#	and specify "\fBoption_group =\fR" (i.e. an empty value).
233# .sp
234#	Postfix 3.1 and earlier don't read \fB[client]\fR option
235#	group settings unless a non-empty \fBoption_file\fR or
236#	\fBoption_group\fR value are specified. To enable this,
237#	specify, for example, "\fBoption_group = client\fR".
238# .sp
239#	This parameter is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
240# .IP "\fBrequire_result_set (default: yes)\fR"
241#	If "\fByes\fR", require that every query returns a result
242#	set.  If "\fBno\fR", treat the absence of a result set as
243#	"not found".
244# .sp
245#	This parameter is available with Postfix 3.2 and later.
246# .IP "\fBtls_cert_file\fR"
247#	File containing client's X509 certificate.
248# .sp
249#	This parameter is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
250# .IP "\fBtls_key_file\fR"
251#	File containing the private key corresponding to \fBtls_cert_file\fR.
252# .sp
253#	This parameter is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
254# .IP "\fBtls_CAfile\fR"
255#	File containing certificates for all of the X509 Certification
256#	Authorities the client will recognize.  Takes precedence over
257#	\fBtls_CApath\fR.
258# .sp
259#	This parameter is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
260# .IP "\fBtls_CApath\fR"
261#	Directory containing X509 Certification Authority certificates
262#	in separate individual files.
263# .sp
264#	This parameter is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
265# .IP "\fBtls_ciphers\fR"
266#	The list of permissible ciphers for SSL encryption.
267# .sp
268#	This parameter is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
269# .IP "\fBtls_verify_cert (default: no)\fR"
270#	Verify that the server's name matches the common name in the
271#	certificate.
272# .sp
273#	This parameter is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
274# USING MYSQL STORED PROCEDURES
275# .ad
276# .fi
277#	Postfix 3.2 and later support calling a stored procedure
278#	instead of using a SELECT statement in the query, e.g.
279#
280# .nf
281#	    \fBquery\fR = CALL lookup('%s')
282# .fi
283#
284#	The previously described '%' expansions can be used in the
285#	parameter(s) to the stored procedure.
286#
287#	By default, every stored procedure call must return a result
288#	set, i.e. every code path must execute a SELECT statement
289#	that returns a result set (instead of storing its results
290#	in a table). With "\fBrequire_result_set = no\fR", the
291#	absence of a result set is treated as "not found".
292#
293#	A stored procedure must not return multiple result sets.
294#	That is, there must be no code path that executes multiple
295#	SELECT statements that return a result (instead of storing
296#	their results in a table).
297#
298#	The following is an example of a stored procedure returning
299#	a single result set:
300#
301# .nf
302#	CREATE [DEFINER=`user`@`host`] PROCEDURE
303#	`lookup`(IN `param` VARCHAR(255))
304#	    READS SQL DATA
305#	    SQL SECURITY INVOKER
306#	    BEGIN
307#	        select goto from alias where address=param;
308#	    END
309# .fi
310# OBSOLETE MAIN.CF PARAMETERS
311# .ad
312# .fi
313#	For compatibility with other Postfix lookup tables, MySQL
314#	parameters can also be defined in main.cf.  In order to do that,
315#	specify as MySQL source a name that doesn't begin with a slash
316#	or a dot.  The MySQL parameters will then be accessible as the
317#	name you've given the source in its definition, an underscore,
318#	and the name of the parameter.	For example, if the map is
319#	specified as "mysql:\fImysqlname\fR", the parameter "hosts"
320#	would be defined in main.cf as "\fImysqlname\fR_hosts".
321#
322#	Note: with this form, the passwords for the MySQL sources are
323#	written in main.cf, which is normally world-readable.  Support
324#	for this form will be removed in a future Postfix version.
325# OBSOLETE QUERY INTERFACE
326# .ad
327# .fi
328#	This section describes an interface that is deprecated as
329#	of Postfix 2.2. It is replaced by the more general \fBquery\fR
330#	interface described above. If the \fBquery\fR parameter
331#	is defined, the legacy parameters described here ignored.
332#	Please migrate to the new interface as the legacy interface
333#	may be removed in a future release.
334#
335#	The following parameters can be used to fill in a
336#	SELECT template statement of the form:
337#
338# .nf
339#	    SELECT [\fBselect_field\fR]
340#	    FROM [\fBtable\fR]
341#	    WHERE [\fBwhere_field\fR] = '%s'
342#	          [\fBadditional_conditions\fR]
343# .fi
344#
345#	The specifier %s is replaced by the search string, and is
346#	escaped so if it contains single quotes or other odd characters,
347#	it will not cause a parse error, or worse, a security problem.
348# .IP "\fBselect_field\fR"
349#	The SQL "select" parameter. Example:
350# .nf
351#	    \fBselect_field\fR = forw_addr
352# .fi
353# .IP "\fBtable\fR"
354#	The SQL "select .. from" table name. Example:
355# .nf
356#	    \fBtable\fR = mxaliases
357# .fi
358# .IP "\fBwhere_field\fR
359#	The SQL "select .. where" parameter. Example:
360# .nf
361#	    \fBwhere_field\fR = alias
362# .fi
363# .IP "\fBadditional_conditions\fR
364#	Additional conditions to the SQL query. Example:
365# .nf
366#	    \fBadditional_conditions\fR = AND status = 'paid'
367# .fi
