These tables are usually in +# \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format. Alternatively, table lookups +# can be directed to a TCP server. +# +# 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. +# PROTOCOL DESCRIPTION +# .ad +# .fi +# The TCP map class implements a very simple protocol: the client +# sends a request, and the server sends one reply. Requests and +# replies are sent as one line of ASCII text, terminated by the +# ASCII newline character. Request and reply parameters (see below) +# are separated by whitespace. +# +# Send and receive operations must complete in 100 seconds. +# REQUEST FORMAT +# .ad +# .fi +# The tcp_table protocol supports only the lookup request. +# The request has the following form: +# .IP "\fBget\fR SPACE \fIkey\fR NEWLINE" +# Look up data under the specified key. +# .PP +# Postfix will not generate partial search keys such as domain +# names without one or more subdomains, network addresses +# without one or more least-significant octets, or email +# addresses without the localpart, address extension or domain +# portion. This behavior is also found with cidr:, pcre:, and +# regexp: tables. +# REPLY FORMAT +# .ad +# .fi +# Each reply specifies a status code and text. Replies must be no +# longer than 4096 characters including the newline terminator. +# .IP "\fB500\fR SPACE \fItext\fR NEWLINE" +# In case of a lookup request, the requested data does not exist. +# The text describes the nature of the problem. +# .IP "\fB400\fR SPACE \fItext\fR NEWLINE" +# This indicates an error condition. The text describes the nature of +# the problem. The client should retry the request later. +# .IP "\fB200\fR SPACE \fItext\fR NEWLINE" +# The request was successful. In the case of a lookup request, +# the text contains an encoded version of the requested data. +# ENCODING +# .ad +# .fi +# In request and reply parameters, the character %, each non-printing +# character, and each whitespace character must be replaced by %XX, +# where XX is the corresponding ASCII hexadecimal character value. The +# hexadecimal codes can be specified in any case (upper, lower, mixed). +# +# The Postfix client always encodes a request. +# The server may omit the encoding as long as the reply +# is guaranteed to not contain the % or NEWLINE character. +# SECURITY +# .ad +# .fi +# Do not use TCP lookup tables for security critical purposes. +# The client-server connection is not protected and the server +# is not authenticated. +# BUGS +# Only the lookup method is currently implemented. +# +# The client does not hang up when the connection is idle for +# a long time. +# SEE ALSO +# postmap(1), Postfix lookup table manager +# regexp_table(5), format of regular expression tables +# pcre_table(5), format of PCRE tables +# cidr_table(5), format of CIDR tables +# README FILES +# .ad +# .fi +# Use "\fBpostconf readme_directory\fR" or +# "\fBpostconf html_directory\fR" to locate this information. +# .na +# .nf +# DATABASE_README, Postfix lookup table overview +# LICENSE +# .ad +# .fi +# The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software. +# AUTHOR(S) +# Wietse Venema +# IBM T.J.
