These tables are usually in +# \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format. +# +# Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified as memcache +# instances. To use memcache lookups, define a memcache +# source as a lookup table in main.cf, for example: +# +# .nf +# virtual_alias_maps = memcache:/etc/postfix/memcache-aliases.cf +# .fi +# +# The file /etc/postfix/memcache-aliases.cf has the same +# format as the Postfix main.cf file, and specifies the +# parameters described below. +# +# The Postfix memcache client supports the lookup, update, +# delete and sequence (first/next) operations. The sequence +# operation requires a backup database that supports the +# operation. +# MEMCACHE MAIN PARAMETERS +# .ad +# .fi +# .IP "\fBmemcache (default: inet:localhost:11211)\fR" +# The memcache server (note: singular) that Postfix will try +# to connect to. For a TCP server specify "inet:" followed by +# a hostname or address, ":", and a port name or number. +# Specify an IPv6 address inside "[]". +# For a UNIX-domain server specify "unix:" followed by the +# socket pathname. Examples: +# +# .nf +# memcache = inet:memcache.example.com:11211 +# memcache = inet:127.0.0.1:11211 +# memcache = inet:[fc00:8d00:189::3]:11211 +# memcache = unix:/path/to/socket +# .fi +# +# NOTE: to access a UNIX-domain socket with the proxymap(8) +# server, the socket must be accessible by the unprivileged +# postfix user. +# .IP "\fBbackup (default: undefined)\fR" +# An optional Postfix database that provides persistent backup +# for the memcache database. The Postfix memcache client will +# update the memcache database whenever it looks up or changes +# information in the persistent database. Specify a Postfix +# "type:table" database. Examples: +# +# .nf +# # Non-shared postscreen cache. +# backup = btree:/var/lib/postfix/postscreen_cache_map +# +# # Shared postscreen cache for processes on the same host. +# backup = proxy:btree:/var/lib/postfix/postscreen_cache_map +# .fi +# +# Access to remote proxymap servers is under development. +# +# NOTE 1: When sharing a persistent \fBpostscreen\fR(8) or +# \fBverify\fR(8) cache, disable automatic cache cleanup (set +# *_cache_cleanup_interval = 0) except with one Postfix +# instance that will be responsible for cache cleanup. +# +# NOTE 2: When multiple tables share the same memcache +# database, each table should use the \fBkey_format\fR feature +# (see below) to prepend its own unique string to the lookup +# key. Otherwise, automatic \fBpostscreen\fR(8) or \fBverify\fR(8) +# cache cleanup may not work. +# +# NOTE 3: When the backup database is accessed with "proxy:" +# lookups, the full backup database name (including the +# "proxy:" prefix) must be specified in the proxymap server's +# proxy_read_maps or proxy_write_maps setting (depending on +# whether the access is read-only or read-write). +# .IP "\fBflags (default: 0)\fR" +# Optional flags that should be stored along with a memcache +# update. The flags are ignored when looking up information. +# .IP "\fBttl (default: 3600)\fR" +# The expiration time in seconds of memcache updates. +# +# NOTE 1: When using a memcache table as \fBpostscreen\fR(8) +# or \fBverify\fR(8) cache without persistent backup, specify +# a zero *_cache_cleanup_interval value with all Postfix +# instances that use the memcache, and specify the largest +# \fBpostscreen\fR(8) *_ttl value or \fBverify\fR(8) *_expire_time +# value as the memcache table's \fBttl\fR value. +# +# NOTE 2: According to memcache protocol documentation, a +# value greater than 30 days (2592000 seconds) specifies +# absolute UNIX +# time. Smaller values are relative to the time of the update. +# MEMCACHE KEY PARAMETERS +# .ad +# .fi +# .IP "\fBkey_format (default: %s)\fB" +# Format of the lookup and update keys that the Postfix +# memcache client sends to the memcache server. +# By default, these are the same as the lookup and update +# keys that the memcache client receives from Postfix +# applications. +# +# NOTE 1: The \fBkey_format\fR feature is not used for \fBbackup\fR +# database requests. +# +# NOTE 2: When multiple tables share the same memcache +# database, each table should prepend its own unique string +# to the lookup key. Otherwise, automatic \fBpostscreen\fR(8) +# or \fBverify\fR(8) cache cleanup may not work. +# +# Examples: +# +# .nf +# key_format = aliases:%s +# key_format = verify:%s +# key_format = postscreen:%s +# .fi +# +# The \fBkey_format\fR 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 memcache client input key. +# .IP "\fB%u\fR" +# When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, +# \fB%u\fR is replaced by the SQL quoted local part of the +# address. Otherwise, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the entire +# search string. If the localpart is empty, a lookup is +# silently suppressed and returns no results (an update is +# skipped with a warning). +# .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. +# Otherwise, a lookup is silently suppressed and returns no +# results (an update is skipped with a warning). +# .IP "\fB%[SUD]\fR" +# The upper-case equivalents of the above expansions behave +# in the \fBkey_format\fR parameter identically to their +# lower-case counter-parts. +# .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. If the +# input key is unqualified or does not have enough domain +# components to satisfy all the specified patterns, a lookup +# is silently suppressed and returns no results (an update +# is skipped with a warning). +# .RE +# .IP "\fBdomain (default: no domain list)\fR" +# This feature can significantly reduce database server load. +# Specify 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 or update: bare 'user' lookups, bare domain +# lookups and "@domain" lookups are silently skipped (updates +# are skipped with a warning).
