+format of Postfix CIDR tables

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix mail system uses optional lookup tables.
+These tables are usually in \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
+Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified in CIDR
+(Classless Inter\-Domain Routing) form. In this case, each
+input is compared against a list of patterns. When a match
+is found, the corresponding result is returned and the search
+is terminated.
+
+To find out what types of lookup tables your Postfix system
+supports use the "\fBpostconf \-m\fR" command.
+
+To test lookup tables, use the "\fBpostmap \-q\fR" command as
+described in the SYNOPSIS above.
+.SH "TABLE FORMAT"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The general form of a Postfix CIDR table is:
+.IP "\fIpattern     result\fR"
+When a search string matches the specified \fIpattern\fR, use
+the corresponding \fIresult\fR value. The \fIpattern\fR must be
+in \fInetwork/prefix\fR or \fInetwork_address\fR form (see
+ADDRESS PATTERN SYNTAX below).
+.IP "\fB!\fIpattern     result\fR"
+When a search string does not match the specified \fIpattern\fR,
+use the specified \fIresult\fR value. The \fIpattern\fR must
+be in \fInetwork/prefix\fR or \fInetwork_address\fR form (see
+ADDRESS PATTERN SYNTAX below).
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.2 and later.
+.IP "\fBif \fIpattern\fR"
+.IP "\fBendif\fR"
+When a search string matches the specified \fIpattern\fR, match
+that search string against the patterns between \fBif\fR and
+\fBendif\fR.  The \fIpattern\fR must be in \fInetwork/prefix\fR or
+\fInetwork_address\fR form (see ADDRESS PATTERN SYNTAX below). The
+\fBif\fR..\fBendif\fR can nest.
+.sp
+Note: do not prepend whitespace to text between
+\fBif\fR..\fBendif\fR.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.2 and later.
+.IP "\fBif !\fIpattern\fR"
+.IP "\fBendif\fR"
+When a search string does not match the specified \fIpattern\fR,
+match that search string against the patterns between \fBif\fR and
+\fBendif\fR. The \fIpattern\fR must be in \fInetwork/prefix\fR or
+\fInetwork_address\fR form (see ADDRESS PATTERN SYNTAX below). The
+\fBif\fR..\fBendif\fR can nest.
+.sp
+Note: do not prepend whitespace to text between
+\fBif\fR..\fBendif\fR.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.2 and later.
+.IP "blank lines and comments"
+Empty lines and whitespace\-only lines are ignored, as
+are lines whose first non\-whitespace character is a `#'.
+.IP "multi\-line text"
+A logical line starts with non\-whitespace text. A line that
+starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
+.SH "TABLE SEARCH ORDER"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a
+pattern is found that matches the search string.
+.SH "ADDRESS PATTERN SYNTAX"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Postfix CIDR tables are pattern\-based. A pattern is either
+a \fInetwork_address\fR which requires an exact match, or a
+\fInetwork_address/prefix_length\fR where the \fIprefix_length\fR
+part specifies the length of the \fInetwork_address\fR prefix
+that must be matched (the other bits in the \fInetwork_address\fR
+part must be zero).
+
+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 ":"
+or "::", where the latter is short\-hand for a sequence of
+one or more all\-zero octet pairs. The pattern 0.0.0.0/0
+matches every IPv4 address, and ::/0 matches every IPv6
+address.  IPv6 support is available in Postfix 2.2 and
+later.
+
+Before comparisons are made, lookup keys and table entries
+are converted from string to binary. Therefore, IPv6 patterns
+will be matched regardless of leading zeros (a leading zero in
+an IPv4 address octet indicates octal notation).
+
+Note: address information may be enclosed inside "[]" but
+this form is not required.
