The result, an indexed file 21 in <b>dbm</b> or <b>db</b> format, is used for fast searching by the mail system. 22 Execute the command "<b>postmap /etc/postfix/relocated</b>" to rebuild an 23 indexed file after changing the corresponding relocated table. 24 25 When the table is provided via other means such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, 26 the same lookups are done as for ordinary indexed files. 27 28 Alternatively, the table can be provided as a regular-expression map 29 where patterns are given as regular expressions, or lookups can be 30 directed to TCP-based server. In those case, the lookups are done in a 31 slightly different way as described below under "REGULAR EXPRESSION 32 TABLES" or "TCP-BASED TABLES". 33 34 Table lookups are case insensitive. 35 36<b>CASE FOLDING</b> 37 The search string is folded to lowercase before database lookup. As of 38 Postfix 2.3, the search string is not case folded with database types 39 such as <a href="regexp_table.5.html">regexp</a>: or <a href="pcre_table.5.html">pcre</a>: whose lookup fields can match both upper and 40 lower case. 41 42<b>TABLE FORMAT</b> 43 The input format for the <a href="postmap.1.html"><b>postmap</b>(1)</a> command is as follows: 44 45 <b>o</b> An entry has one of the following form: 46 47 <i>pattern new</i><b>_</b><i>location</i> 48 49 Where <i>new</i><b>_</b><i>location</i> specifies contact information such as an 50 email address, or perhaps a street address or telephone number. 51 52 <b>o</b> Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are ignored, as are lines 53 whose first non-whitespace character is a `#'. 54 55 <b>o</b> A logical line starts with non-whitespace text. A line that 56 starts with whitespace continues a logical line. 57 58<b>TABLE SEARCH ORDER</b> 59 With lookups from indexed files such as DB or DBM, or from networked 60 tables such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, patterns are tried in the order as 61 listed below: 62 63 <i>user</i>@<i>domain</i> 64 Matches <i>user</i>@<i>domain</i>. This form has precedence over all other 65 forms. 66 67 <i>user</i> Matches <i>user</i>@<i>site</i> when <i>site</i> is $<b><a href="postconf.5.html#myorigin">myorigin</a></b>, when <i>site</i> is listed in 68 $<b><a href="postconf.5.html#mydestination">mydestination</a></b>, or when <i>site</i> is listed in $<b><a href="postconf.5.html#inet_interfaces">inet_interfaces</a></b> or 69 $<b><a href="postconf.5.html#proxy_interfaces">proxy_interfaces</a></b>. 70 71 @<i>domain</i> 72 Matches other addresses in <i>domain</i>. This form has the lowest 73 precedence. 74 75<b>ADDRESS EXTENSION</b> 76 When a mail address localpart contains the optional recipient delimiter 77 (e.g., <i>user+foo</i>@<i>domain</i>), the lookup order becomes: <i>user+foo</i>@<i>domain</i>, 78 <i>user</i>@<i>domain</i>, <i>user+foo</i>, <i>user</i>, and @<i>domain</i>. 79 80<b>REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES</b> 81 This section describes how the table lookups change when the table is 82 given in the form of regular expressions or when lookups are directed 83 to a TCP-based server. For a description of regular expression lookup 84 table syntax, see <a href="regexp_table.5.html"><b>regexp_table</b>(5)</a> or <a href="pcre_table.5.html"><b>pcre_table</b>(5)</a>. For a description 85 of the TCP client/server table lookup protocol, see <a href="tcp_table.5.html"><b>tcp_table</b>(5)</a>. This 86 feature is not available up to and including Postfix version 2.4. 87 88 Each pattern is a regular expression that is applied to the entire 89 address being looked up. Thus, <i>user@domain</i> mail addresses are not bro- 90 ken up into their <i>user</i> and <i>@domain</i> constituent parts, nor is <i>user+foo</i> 91 broken up into <i>user</i> and <i>foo</i>. 92 93 Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a 94 pattern is found that matches the search string. 95 96 Results are the same as with indexed file lookups, with the additional 97 feature that parenthesized substrings from the pattern can be interpo- 98 lated as <b>$1</b>, <b>$2</b> and so on. 99 100<b>TCP-BASED TABLES</b> 101 This section describes how the table lookups change when lookups are 102 directed to a TCP-based server. For a description of the TCP 103 client/server lookup protocol, see <a href="tcp_table.5.html"><b>tcp_table</b>(5)</a>. This feature is not 104 available up to and including Postfix version 2.4. 105 106 Each lookup operation uses the entire address once. Thus, <i>user@domain</i> 107 mail addresses are not broken up into their <i>user</i> and <i>@domain</i> con- 108 stituent parts, nor is <i>user+foo</i> broken up into <i>user</i> and <i>foo</i>. 109 110 Results are the same as with indexed file lookups. 111 112<b>BUGS</b> 113 The table format does not understand quoting conventions. 114 115<b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b> 116 The following <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> parameters are especially relevant.
