+# NAME
+# transport 5
+# SUMMARY
+# Postfix transport table format
+# SYNOPSIS
+# \fBpostmap /etc/postfix/transport\fR
+#
+# \fBpostmap -q "\fIstring\fB" /etc/postfix/transport\fR
+#
+# \fBpostmap -q - /etc/postfix/transport <\fIinputfile\fR
+# DESCRIPTION
+# The optional \fBtransport\fR(5) table specifies a mapping from email
+# addresses to message delivery transports and next-hop destinations.
+# Message delivery transports such as \fBlocal\fR or \fBsmtp\fR
+# are defined in the \fBmaster.cf\fR file, and next-hop
+# destinations are typically hosts or domain names. The
+# table is searched by the \fBtrivial-rewrite\fR(8) daemon.
+#
+# This mapping overrides the default \fItransport\fR:\fInexthop\fR
+# selection that is built into Postfix:
+# .IP "\fBlocal_transport (default: local:$myhostname)\fR"
+# This is the default for final delivery to domains listed
+# with \fBmydestination\fR, and for [\fIipaddress\fR]
+# destinations that match \fB$inet_interfaces\fR or
+# \fB$proxy_interfaces\fR. The default \fInexthop\fR destination
+# is the MTA hostname.
+# .IP "\fBvirtual_transport (default: virtual:)\fR"
+# This is the default for final delivery to domains listed
+# with \fBvirtual_mailbox_domains\fR. The default \fInexthop\fR
+# destination is the recipient domain.
+# .IP "\fBrelay_transport (default: relay:)\fR"
+# This is the default for remote delivery to domains listed
+# with \fBrelay_domains\fR. In order of decreasing precedence,
+# the \fInexthop\fR destination is taken from \fBrelay_transport\fR,
+# \fBsender_dependent_relayhost_maps\fR, \fBrelayhost\fR, or from the
+# recipient domain.
+# .IP "\fBdefault_transport (default: smtp:)\fR"
+# This is the default for remote delivery to other destinations.
+# In order of decreasing precedence, the \fInexthop\fR
+# destination is taken from \fBsender_dependent_default_transport_maps,
+# \fBdefault_transport\fR, \fBsender_dependent_relayhost_maps\fR,
+# \fBrelayhost\fR, or from the recipient domain.
+# .PP
+# Normally, the \fBtransport\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/transport\fR" to rebuild an indexed
+# file after changing the corresponding transport table.
+#
+# 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 case, the lookups
+# are done in a slightly different way as described below under
+# "REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES" or "TCP-BASED TABLES".
+# 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 result\fR"
+# When \fIpattern\fR matches the recipient address or domain, use the
+# corresponding \fIresult\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.
+# .PP
+# The \fIpattern\fR specifies an email address, a domain name, or
+# a domain name hierarchy, as described in section "TABLE LOOKUP".
+#
+# The \fIresult\fR is of the form \fItransport:nexthop\fR and
+# specifies how or where to deliver mail. This is described in
+# section "RESULT FORMAT".
+# 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, patterns are tried in the order as
+# listed below:
+# .IP "\fIuser+extension@domain transport\fR:\fInexthop\fR"
+# Deliver mail for \fIuser+extension@domain\fR through
+# \fItransport\fR to
+# \fInexthop\fR.
+# .IP "\fIuser@domain transport\fR:\fInexthop\fR"
+# Deliver mail for \fIuser@domain\fR through \fItransport\fR to
+# \fInexthop\fR.
+# .IP "\fIdomain transport\fR:\fInexthop\fR"
+# Deliver mail for \fIdomain\fR through \fItransport\fR to
+# \fInexthop\fR.
+# .IP "\fI.domain transport\fR:\fInexthop\fR"
+# Deliver mail for any subdomain of \fIdomain\fR through
+# \fItransport\fR to \fInexthop\fR. This applies only when the
+# string \fBtransport_maps\fR is not listed in the
+# \fBparent_domain_matches_subdomains\fR configuration setting.
+# Otherwise, a domain name matches itself and its subdomains.
+# .IP "\fB*\fI transport\fR:\fInexthop\fR"
+# The special pattern \fB*\fR represents any address (i.e. it
+# functions as the wild-card pattern, and is unique to Postfix
+# transport tables).
+# .PP
+# Note 1: the null recipient address is looked up as
+# \fB$empty_address_recipient\fR@\fB$myhostname\fR (default:
+# mailer-daemon@hostname).
+#
+# Note 2: \fIuser@domain\fR or \fIuser+extension@domain\fR
+# lookup is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+# RESULT FORMAT
+# .ad
+# .fi
+# The lookup result is of the form \fItransport\fB:\fInexthop\fR.
+# The \fItransport\fR field specifies a mail delivery transport
+# such as \fBsmtp\fR or \fBlocal\fR. The \fInexthop\fR field
+# specifies where and how to deliver mail.
+#
+# The transport field specifies the name of a mail delivery transport
+# (the first name of a mail delivery service entry in the Postfix
+# \fBmaster.cf\fR file).
+#
+# The nexthop field usually specifies one recipient domain
+# or hostname. In the case of the Postfix SMTP/LMTP client,
+# the nexthop field may contain a list of nexthop destinations
+# separated by comma or whitespace (Postfix 3.5 and later).
+#
+# The syntax of a nexthop destination is transport dependent.
+# With SMTP, specify a service on a non-default
+# port as \fIhost\fR:\fIservice\fR, and disable MX (mail exchanger)
+# DNS lookups with [\fIhost\fR] or [\fIhost\fR]:\fIport\fR. The [] form
+# is required when you specify an IP address instead of a hostname.
+#
+# A null \fItransport\fR and null \fInexthop\fR field means "do
+# not change": use the delivery transport and nexthop information
+# that would be used when the entire transport table did not exist.
+#
+# A non-null \fItransport\fR field with a null \fInexthop\fR field
+# resets the nexthop information to the recipient domain.
+#
+# A null \fItransport\fR field with non-null \fInexthop\fR field
+# does not modify the transport information.
+# EXAMPLES
+# .ad
+# .fi
+# In order to deliver internal mail directly, while using a
+# mail relay for all other mail, specify a null entry for
+# internal destinations (do not change the delivery transport or
+# the nexthop information) and specify a wildcard for all other
+# destinations.
+#
+# .nf
+# \fB\&my.domain :\fR
+# \fB\&.my.domain :\fR
+# \fB* smtp:outbound-relay.my.domain\fR
+# .fi
+#
+# In order to send mail for \fBexample.com\fR and its subdomains
+# via the \fBuucp\fR transport to the UUCP host named \fBexample\fR:
+#
+# .nf
+# \fBexample.com uucp:example\fR
+# \fB\&.example.com uucp:example\fR
+# .fi
+#
+# When no nexthop host name is specified, the destination domain
+# name is used instead. For example, the following directs mail for
+# \fIuser\fR@\fBexample.com\fR via the \fBslow\fR transport to a mail
+# exchanger for \fBexample.com\fR. The \fBslow\fR transport could be
+# configured to run at most one delivery process at a time:
+#
+# .nf
+# \fBexample.com slow:\fR
+# .fi
+#
+# When no transport is specified, Postfix uses the transport that
+# matches the address domain class (see DESCRIPTION
+# above). The following sends all mail for \fBexample.com\fR and its
+# subdomains to host \fBgateway.example.com\fR:
+#
+# .nf
+# \fBexample.com :[gateway.example.com]\fR
+# \fB\&.example.com :[gateway.example.com]\fR
+# .fi
+#
+# In the above example, the [] suppress MX lookups.
+# This prevents mail routing loops when your machine is primary MX
+# host for \fBexample.com\fR.
+#
+# In the case of delivery via SMTP or LMTP, one may specify
+# \fIhost\fR:\fIservice\fR instead of just a host:
+#
+# .nf
+# \fBexample.com smtp:bar.example:2025\fR
+# .fi
+#
+# This directs mail for \fIuser\fR@\fBexample.com\fR to host \fBbar.example\fR
+# port \fB2025\fR. Instead of a numerical port a symbolic name may be
+# used. Specify [] around the hostname if MX lookups must be disabled.
+#
+# Deliveries via SMTP or LMTP support multiple destinations
+# (Postfix >= 3.5):
+#
+# .nf
+# \fBexample.com smtp:bar.example, foo.example\fR
+# .fi
+#
+# This tries to deliver to \fBbar.example\fR before trying
+# to deliver to \fBfoo.example\fR.
+#
+# The error mailer can be used to bounce mail:
+#
+# .nf
+# \fB\&.example.com error:mail for *.example.com is not deliverable\fR
+# .fi
+#
+# This causes all mail for \fIuser\fR@\fIanything\fB.example.com\fR
+# to be bounced.
+# 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, \fIsome.domain.hierarchy\fR is not
+# looked up via its parent domains,
+# nor is \fIuser+foo@domain\fR looked up as \fIuser@domain\fR.
+#
+# Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a
+# pattern is found that matches the search string.
+#
+# The \fBtrivial-rewrite\fR(8) server disallows regular
+# expression substitution of $1 etc. in regular expression
+# lookup tables, because that could open a security hole
+# (Postfix version 2.3 and later).
+# 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 recipient address once. Thus,
+# \fIsome.domain.hierarchy\fR is not looked up via its parent domains,
+# nor is \fIuser+foo@domain\fR looked up as \fIuser@domain\fR.
+#
+# Results are the same as with indexed file lookups.
+# CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
+# .ad
+# .fi
+# The following \fBmain.cf\fR parameters are especially relevant.
+# The text below provides only a parameter summary. See
+# \fBpostconf\fR(5) for more details including examples.
+# .IP "\fBempty_address_recipient (MAILER-DAEMON)\fR"
+# The recipient of mail addressed to the null address.
+# .IP "\fBparent_domain_matches_subdomains (see 'postconf -d' output)\fR"
+# A list of Postfix features where the pattern "example.com" also
+# matches subdomains of example.com,
+# instead of requiring an explicit ".example.com" pattern.
+# .IP "\fBtransport_maps (empty)\fR"
+# Optional lookup tables with mappings from recipient address to
+# (message delivery transport, next-hop destination).
