+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address
+rewriting or mail routing. These tables are usually in
+\fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
+
+Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified as MongoDB
+databases. In order to use MongoDB lookups, define a MongoDB
+source as a lookup table in main.cf, for example:
+.nf
+ alias_maps = mongodb:/etc/postfix/mongodb\-aliases.cf
+.fi
+
+In this example, the file /etc/postfix/mongodb\-aliases.cf
+has the same format as the Postfix main.cf file, and can
+specify the parameters described below. It is also possible
+to have the configuration in main.cf; see "OBSOLETE MAIN.CF
+PARAMETERS" below.
+
+It is strongly recommended to use proxy:mongodb, in order
+to reduce the number of database connections. For example:
+.nf
+ alias_maps = proxy:mongodb:/etc/postfix/mongodb\-aliases.cf
+.fi
+
+Note: when using proxy:mongodb:/\fIfile\fR, the file must
+be readable by the unprivileged postfix user (specified
+with the Postfix mail_owner configuration parameter).
+.SH "MONGODB PARAMETERS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+.IP "\fBuri\fR"
+The URI of mongo server/cluster that Postfix will try to
+connect to and query from. Please see
+.nf
+https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/connection\-string/
+.fi
+
+Example:
+.nf
+ uri = mongodb+srv://user:pass@loclhost:27017/mail
+.fi
+.IP "\fBdbname\fR"
+Name of the database to read the information from.
+Example:
+.nf
+ dbname = mail
+.fi
+.IP "\fBcollection\fR"
+Name of the collection (table) to read the information from.
+Example:
+.nf
+ collection = mailbox
+.fi
+.IP "\fBquery_filter\fR"
+The MongoDB query template used to search the database,
+where \fB%s\fR is a substitute for the email address that
+Postfix is trying to resolve. Please see:
+.nf
+https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/query\-documents/
+.fi
+
+Example:
+.nf
+ query_filter = {"$or": [{"username": "%s"}, {"alias.address": "%s"}], "active": 1}
+.fi
+
+This parameter supports the following '%' expansions:
+.RS
+.IP "\fB%%\fR"
+This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
+.IP "\fB%s\fR"
+This is replaced by the input key. The %s must appear in
+quotes, because all Postfix queries are strings containing
+(parts from) a domain or email address. Postfix makes no
+numerical queries.
+.IP "\fB%u\fR"
+When the input key is an address of the form user@domain,
+\fB%u\fR is replaced by the local part of the address.
+Otherwise, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the entire search string.
+.IP "\fB%d\fR"
+When the input key is an address of the form user@domain,
+\fB%d\fR is replaced by the domain part of the address.
+.IP "\fB%[1\-9]\fR"
+The patterns %1, %2, ... %9 are replaced by the corresponding
+most significant component of the input key's domain. If
+the input key is \fIuser@mail.example.com\fR, then %1 is
+\fBcom\fR, %2 is \fBexample\fR and %3 is \fBmail\fR.
+.RE
+.IP
+In the above substitutions, characters will be quoted as
+required by RFC 4627. For example, each double quote or
+backslash character will be escaped with a backslash
+characacter.
+.IP "\fBprojection\fR"
+Advanced MongoDB query projections. Please see:
+.nf
+https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/project\-fields\-from\-query\-results/
+.fi
+
+.RS
+.IP \(bu
+If \fBprojection\fR is non\-empty, then \fBresult_attribute\fR
+must be empty.
+.IP \(bu
+This implementation can extract information only from result
+fields that have type \fBstring\fR (UTF8), \fBinteger\fR
+(int32, int64) and \fBarray\fR. Other result fields will
+be ignored with a warning. Please see:
+.nf
+https://mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_type_t.html
+.fi
+.IP \(bu
+As with \fBresult_attribute\fR, the top\-level _id field
+(type OID) is automatically removed from projection results.
+.RE
+.IP "\fBresult_attribute\fR"
+Comma or whitespace separated list with the names of fields
+to be returned in a lookup result.
+
+.RS
+.IP \(bu
+If \fBresult_attribute\fR is non\-empty, then \fBprojection\fR
+must be empty.
+.IP \(bu
+As with \fBprojection\fR, the top\-level _id field (type
+OID) is automatically removed from lookup results.
+.RE
+.IP "\fBresult_format (default: \fB%s\fR)\fR"
+Format template applied to the result from \fBprojection\fR
+or \fBresult_attribute\fR. Most commonly used to append (or
+prepend) text to the result. This parameter supports the
+following '%' expansions:
+.RS
+.IP "\fB%%\fR"
+This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
+.IP "\fB%s\fR"
+This is replaced by the value of the result attribute. When
+result is empty it is skipped.
+.IP "\fB%u\fR
+When the result attribute value is an address of the form
+user@domain, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the local part of the
+address. When the result has an empty localpart it is
+skipped.
+.IP "\fB%d\fR"
+When a result attribute value is an address of the form
+user@domain, \fB%d\fR is replaced by the domain part of the
+attribute value. When the result is unqualified it is
+skipped.
+.IP "\fB%[SUD1\-9]\fR"
+The upper\-case and decimal digit expansions interpolate the
+parts of the input key rather than the result. Their behavior
+is identical to that described with \fBquery_filter\fR, and
+in fact because the input key is known in advance, lookups
+whose key does not contain all the information specified
+in the result template are suppressed and return no results.
+.RE
+.IP
+For example, using "result_format = smtp:[%s]" allows one
+to use a mailHost attribute as the basis of a transport(5)
+table. After applying the result format, multiple values
+are concatenated as comma separated strings. The expansion_limit
+parameter explained below allows one to restrict the number
+of values in the result, which is especially useful for
+maps that should return a single value.
+
+The default value \fB%s\fR specifies that each
+attribute value should be used as is.
+
+NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the result format! The result
+is not a JSON string.
+.IP "\fBdomain (default: no domain list)\fR"
+This is a list of domain names, paths to files, or "type:table"
+databases. When specified, only fully qualified search keys
+with a *non\-empty* localpart and a matching domain are
+eligible for lookup: 'user' lookups, bare domain lookups
+and "@domain" lookups are not performed. This can significantly
+reduce the query load on the backend database. Example:
+.nf
+ domain = postfix.org, hash:/etc/postfix/searchdomains
+.fi
+.IP "\fBexpansion_limit (default: 0)\fR"
+A limit on the total number of result elements returned (as
+a comma separated list) by a lookup against the map. A
+setting of zero disables the limit. Lookups fail with a
+temporary error if the limit is exceeded. Setting the limit
+to 1 ensures that lookups do not return multiple values.
+.SH "OBSOLETE MAIN.CF PARAMETERS"
+.na
+.nf

+.fi
+MongoDB parameters can also be defined in main.cf. Specify
+as MongoDB source a name that doesn't begin with a slash
+or a dot. The MongoDB parameters will then be accessible
+as the name you've given the source in its definition, an
+underscore, and the name of the parameter. For example, if
+a map is specified as "mongodb:\fImongodb_source\fR", the
+"uri" parameter would be defined in main.cf as
+"\fImongodb_source\fR_uri".
+
+Note: with this form, passwords are written in main.cf,
+which is normally world\-readable, and '$' in a mongodb
+parameter setting needs to be written as '$$'.
