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.

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. +.SH "EXAMPLE SMTPD ACCESS MAP" +.na +.nf +.nf +/etc/postfix/main.cf: + smtpd_client_restrictions = ... cidr:/etc/postfix/client.cidr ... + +/etc/postfix/client.cidr: + # Rule order matters.
