+# NAME
+# canonical 5
+# SUMMARY
+# Postfix canonical table format
+# SYNOPSIS
+# \fBpostmap /etc/postfix/canonical\fR
+#
+# \fBpostmap -q "\fIstring\fB" /etc/postfix/canonical\fR
+#
+# \fBpostmap -q - /etc/postfix/canonical <\fIinputfile\fR
+# DESCRIPTION
+# The optional \fBcanonical\fR(5) table specifies an address mapping for
+# local and non-local addresses. The mapping is used by the
+# \fBcleanup\fR(8) daemon, before mail is stored into the
+# queue. The address mapping is recursive.
+#
+# Normally, the \fBcanonical\fR(5) table is specified as a text file
+# that serves as input to the \fBpostmap\fR(1) command.
+# The result, an indexed file in \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format,
+# is used for fast searching by the mail system. Execute the command
+# "\fBpostmap /etc/postfix/canonical\fR" to rebuild an indexed
+# file after changing the corresponding text file.
+#
+# When the table is provided via other means such as NIS, LDAP
+# or SQL, the same lookups are done as for ordinary indexed files.
+#
+# Alternatively, the table can be provided as a regular-expression
+# map where patterns are given as regular expressions, or lookups
+# can be directed to TCP-based server. In those cases, the lookups
+# are done in a slightly different way as described below under
+# "REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES" or "TCP-BASED TABLES".
+#
+# By default the \fBcanonical\fR(5) mapping affects both message
+# header addresses (i.e. addresses that appear inside messages)
+# and message envelope addresses (for example, the addresses
+# that are used in SMTP protocol commands). This is controlled with
+# the \fBcanonical_classes\fR parameter.
+#
+# NOTE: Postfix versions 2.2 and later rewrite message headers
+# from remote SMTP clients only if the client matches the
+# local_header_rewrite_clients parameter, or if the
+# remote_header_rewrite_domain configuration parameter specifies
+# a non-empty value. To get the behavior before Postfix 2.2,
+# specify "local_header_rewrite_clients = static:all".
+#
+# Typically, one would use the \fBcanonical\fR(5) table to replace login
+# names by \fIFirstname.Lastname\fR, or to clean up addresses produced
+# by legacy mail systems.
+#
+# The \fBcanonical\fR(5) mapping is not to be confused with \fIvirtual
+# alias\fR support or with local aliasing. To change the destination
+# but not the headers, use the \fBvirtual\fR(5) or \fBaliases\fR(5)
+# map instead.
+# CASE FOLDING
+# .ad
+# .fi
+# The search string is folded to lowercase before database
+# lookup. As of Postfix 2.3, the search string is not case
+# folded with database types such as regexp: or pcre: whose
+# lookup fields can match both upper and lower case.
+# TABLE FORMAT
+# .ad
+# .fi
+# The input format for the \fBpostmap\fR(1) command is as follows:
+# .IP "\fIpattern address\fR"
+# When \fIpattern\fR matches a mail address, replace it by the
+# corresponding \fIaddress\fR.
+# .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.
+# TABLE SEARCH ORDER
+# .ad
+# .fi
+# With lookups from indexed files such as DB or DBM, or from networked
+# tables such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, each \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR
+# query produces a sequence of query patterns as described below.
+#
+# Each query pattern is sent to each specified lookup table
+# before trying the next query pattern, until a match is
+# found.
+# .IP "\fIuser\fR@\fIdomain address\fR"
+# Replace \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR by \fIaddress\fR. This form
+# has the highest precedence.
+# .sp
+# This is useful to clean up addresses produced by legacy mail systems.
+# It can also be used to produce \fIFirstname.Lastname\fR style
+# addresses, but see below for a simpler solution.
+# .IP "\fIuser address\fR"
+# Replace \fIuser\fR@\fIsite\fR by \fIaddress\fR when \fIsite\fR is
+# equal to $\fBmyorigin\fR, when \fIsite\fR is listed in
+# $\fBmydestination\fR, or when it is listed in $\fBinet_interfaces\fR
+# or $\fBproxy_interfaces\fR.
+# .sp
+# This form is useful for replacing login names by
+# \fIFirstname.Lastname\fR.
+# .IP "@\fIdomain address\fR"
+# Replace other addresses in \fIdomain\fR by \fIaddress\fR.
+# This form has the lowest precedence.
+# .sp
+# Note: @\fIdomain\fR is a wild-card. When this form is applied
+# to recipient addresses, the Postfix SMTP server accepts
+# mail for any recipient in \fIdomain\fR, regardless of whether
+# that recipient exists. This may turn your mail system into
+# a backscatter source: Postfix first accepts mail for
+# non-existent recipients and then tries to return that mail
+# as "undeliverable" to the often forged sender address.
+# .sp
+# To avoid backscatter with mail for a wild-card domain,
+# replace the wild-card mapping with explicit 1:1 mappings,
+# or add a reject_unverified_recipient restriction for that
+# domain:
+#
+# .nf
+# smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
+# ...
+# reject_unauth_destination
+# check_recipient_access
+# inline:{example.com=reject_unverified_recipient}
+# unverified_recipient_reject_code = 550
+# .fi
+#
+# In the above example, Postfix may contact a remote server
+# if the recipient is rewritten to a remote address.
+# RESULT ADDRESS REWRITING
+# .ad
+# .fi
+# The lookup result is subject to address rewriting:
+# .IP \(bu
+# When the result has the form @\fIotherdomain\fR, the
+# result becomes the same \fIuser\fR in \fIotherdomain\fR.
+# .IP \(bu
+# When "\fBappend_at_myorigin=yes\fR", append "\fB@$myorigin\fR"
+# to addresses without "@domain".
+# .IP \(bu
+# When "\fBappend_dot_mydomain=yes\fR", append
+# "\fB.$mydomain\fR" to addresses without ".domain".
+# ADDRESS EXTENSION
+# .fi
+# .ad
+# When a mail address localpart contains the optional recipient delimiter
+# (e.g., \fIuser+foo\fR@\fIdomain\fR), the lookup order becomes:
+# \fIuser+foo\fR@\fIdomain\fR, \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR, \fIuser+foo\fR,
+# \fIuser\fR, and @\fIdomain\fR.
+#
+# The \fBpropagate_unmatched_extensions\fR parameter controls whether
+# an unmatched address extension (\fI+foo\fR) is propagated to the
+# result of table lookup.
+# REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES
+# .ad
+# .fi
+# This section describes how the table lookups change when the table
+# is given in the form of regular expressions. For a description of
+# regular expression lookup table syntax, see \fBregexp_table\fR(5)
+# or \fBpcre_table\fR(5).
+#
+# Each pattern is a regular expression that is applied to the entire
+# address being looked up. Thus, \fIuser@domain\fR mail addresses are not
+# broken up into their \fIuser\fR and \fI@domain\fR constituent parts,
+# nor is \fIuser+foo\fR broken up into \fIuser\fR and \fIfoo\fR.
+#
+# Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a
+# pattern is found that matches the search string.
+#
+# Results are the same as with indexed file lookups, with
+# the additional feature that parenthesized substrings from the
+# pattern can be interpolated as \fB$1\fR, \fB$2\fR and so on.
+# TCP-BASED TABLES
+# .ad
+# .fi
+# This section describes how the table lookups change when lookups
+# are directed to a TCP-based server. For a description of the TCP
+# client/server lookup protocol, see \fBtcp_table\fR(5).
+# This feature is not available up to and including Postfix version 2.4.
+#
+# Each lookup operation uses the entire address once. Thus,
+# \fIuser@domain\fR mail addresses are not broken up into their
+# \fIuser\fR and \fI@domain\fR constituent parts, nor is
+# \fIuser+foo\fR broken up into \fIuser\fR and \fIfoo\fR.
+#
+# Results are the same as with indexed file lookups.
+# BUGS
+# The table format does not understand quoting conventions.
+# CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
+# .ad
