NAME

cidr_table - format of Postfix CIDR tables

SYNOPSIS

 postmap -q "string" cidr:/etc/postfix/filename
 
 postmap -q - cidr:/etc/postfix/filename <inputfile
 
 

DESCRIPTION

The Postfix mail system uses optional lookup tables. These tables are usually in dbm or db format. Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified in CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) form.

To find out what types of lookup tables your Postfix system supports use the "postconf -m" command.

To test lookup tables, use the "postmap -q" command as described in the SYNOPSIS above.

TABLE FORMAT

 
The general form of a Postfix CIDR table is:
network_address/network_mask result
When a search string matches the specified network block, use the corresponding result value. Specify 0.0.0.0/0 to match every IPv4 address, and ::/0 to match every IPv6 address.

An IPv4 network address is a sequence of four decimal octets separated by ".", and an IPv6 network address is a sequence of three to eight hexadecimal octet pairs separated by ":".

Before comparisons are made, lookup keys and table entries are converted from string to binary. Therefore table entries will be matched regardless of redundant zero characters.

Note: address information may be enclosed inside "[]" but this form is not recommended.

IPv6 support is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.

network_address result
When a search string matches the specified network address, use the corresponding result value.
blank lines and comments
Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are ignored, as are lines whose first non-whitespace character is a `#'.
multi-line text
A logical line starts with non-whitespace text. A line that starts with whitespace continues a logical line.

TABLE SEARCH ORDER

 
Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a pattern is found that matches the search string.

EXAMPLE SMTPD ACCESS MAP

 /etc/postfix/main.cf:
 
smtpd_client_restrictions = ... cidr:/etc/postfix/client.cidr ... /etc/postfix/client.cidr: # Rule order matters. Put more specific whitelist entries # before more general blacklist entries. 192.168.1.1 OK 192.168.0.0/16 REJECT
