.TH SOCKETMAP_TABLE 5
.ad

.SH NAME
socketmap_table
\-
Postfix socketmap table lookup client
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.na
.nf
\fBpostmap \-q "\fIstring\fB" socketmap:inet:\fIhost\fB:\fIport\fB:\fIname\fR
.br
\fBpostmap \-q "\fIstring\fB" socketmap:unix:\fIpathname\fB:\fIname\fR

.SH DESCRIPTION
.ad
.fi
The Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address
rewriting, mail routing or policy lookup.
The Postfix socketmap client expects TCP endpoint names of
the form \fBinet:\fIhost\fB:\fIport\fB:\fIname\fR, or
UNIX\-domain endpoints of the form \fBunix:\fIpathname\fB:\fIname\fR.
In both cases, \fIname\fR specifies the name field in a
socketmap client request (see "REQUEST FORMAT" below).
.SH "PROTOCOL"
.na
.nf
.ad
.fi
Socketmaps use a simple protocol: the client sends one
request, and the server sends one reply. Each request and
each reply are sent as one netstring object.
.SH "REQUEST FORMAT"
.na
.nf
.ad
.fi
The socketmap protocol supports only the lookup request.
The request has the following form:
.IP "\fB\fIname\fB <space> \fIkey\fR"
Search the named socketmap for 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.
.SH "REPLY FORMAT"
.na
.nf
.ad
.fi
The Postfix socketmap client requires that replies are not
longer than 100000 characters (not including the netstring
encapsulation). Replies must have the following form:
.IP "\fBOK <space> \fIdata\fR"
The requested data was found.
.IP "\fBNOTFOUND <space>"
The requested data was not found.
.IP "\fBTEMP <space> \fIreason\fR"
.IP "\fBTIMEOUT <space> \fIreason\fR"
.IP "\fBPERM <space> \fIreason\fR"
The request failed. The reason, if non\-empty, is descriptive
text.
.SH "SECURITY"
.na
.nf
This map cannot be used for security\-sensitive information,
because neither the connection nor the server are authenticated.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.na

.SH "LICENSE"

The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software.
.SH HISTORY

Socketmap support was introduced with Postfix version 2.10.
