The mapping is used by the +# \fBcleanup\fR(8) daemon, before mail is stored into the +# queue. The address mapping is recursive. +# +# Normally, the \fBcanonical\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/canonical\fR" to rebuild an indexed +# file after changing the corresponding text file. +# +# 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 a TCP-based server. In those cases, the lookups +# are done in a slightly different way as described below under +# "REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES" or "TCP-BASED TABLES". +# +# By default the \fBcanonical\fR(5) mapping affects both message +# header addresses (i.e. addresses that appear inside messages) +# and message envelope addresses (for example, the addresses +# that are used in SMTP protocol commands). This is controlled with +# the \fBcanonical_classes\fR parameter. +# +# NOTE: Postfix versions 2.2 and later rewrite message headers +# from remote SMTP clients only if the client matches the +# local_header_rewrite_clients parameter, or if the +# remote_header_rewrite_domain configuration parameter specifies +# a non-empty value. To get the behavior before Postfix 2.2, +# specify "local_header_rewrite_clients = static:all". +# +# Typically, one would use the \fBcanonical\fR(5) table to replace login +# names by \fIFirstname.Lastname\fR, or to clean up addresses produced +# by legacy mail systems. +# +# The \fBcanonical\fR(5) mapping is not to be confused with \fIvirtual +# alias\fR support or with local aliasing. To change the destination +# but not the headers, use the \fBvirtual\fR(5) or \fBaliases\fR(5) +# map instead. +# 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 address\fR" +# When \fIpattern\fR matches a mail address, replace it by the +# corresponding \fIaddress\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. +# 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, each \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR +# query produces a sequence of query patterns as described below. +# +# Each query pattern is sent to each specified lookup table +# before trying the next query pattern, until a match is +# found. +# .IP "\fIuser\fR@\fIdomain address\fR" +# Replace \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR by \fIaddress\fR. This form +# has the highest precedence. +# .sp +# This is useful to clean up addresses produced by legacy mail systems. +# It can also be used to produce \fIFirstname.Lastname\fR style +# addresses, but see below for a simpler solution. +# .IP "\fIuser address\fR" +# Replace \fIuser\fR@\fIsite\fR by \fIaddress\fR when \fIsite\fR is +# equal to $\fBmyorigin\fR, when \fIsite\fR is listed in +# $\fBmydestination\fR, or when it is listed in $\fBinet_interfaces\fR +# or $\fBproxy_interfaces\fR. +# .sp +# This form is useful for replacing login names by +# \fIFirstname.Lastname\fR. +# .IP "@\fIdomain address\fR" +# Replace other addresses in \fIdomain\fR by \fIaddress\fR. +# This form has the lowest precedence. +# .sp +# Note: @\fIdomain\fR is a wild-card. When this form is applied +# to recipient addresses, the Postfix SMTP server accepts +# mail for any recipient in \fIdomain\fR, regardless of whether +# that recipient exists. This may turn your mail system into +# a backscatter source: Postfix first accepts mail for +# non-existent recipients and then tries to return that mail +# as "undeliverable" to the often forged sender address. +# .sp +# To avoid backscatter with mail for a wild-card domain, +# replace the wild-card mapping with explicit 1:1 mappings, +# or add a reject_unverified_recipient restriction for that +# domain: +# +# .nf +# smtpd_recipient_restrictions = +# ... +# reject_unauth_destination +# check_recipient_access +# inline:{example.com=reject_unverified_recipient} +# unverified_recipient_reject_code = 550 +# .fi +# +# In the above example, Postfix may contact a remote server +# if the recipient is rewritten to a remote address. +# RESULT ADDRESS REWRITING +# .ad +# .fi +# The lookup result is subject to address rewriting: +# .IP \(bu +# When the result has the form @\fIotherdomain\fR, the +# result becomes the same \fIuser\fR in \fIotherdomain\fR. +# .IP \(bu +# When "\fBappend_at_myorigin=yes\fR", append "\fB@$myorigin\fR" +# to addresses without "@domain". +# .IP \(bu +# When "\fBappend_dot_mydomain=yes\fR", append +# "\fB.$mydomain\fR" to addresses without ".domain". +# ADDRESS EXTENSION +# .fi +# .ad +# When a mail address localpart contains the optional recipient delimiter +# (e.g., \fIuser+foo\fR@\fIdomain\fR), the lookup order becomes: +# \fIuser+foo\fR@\fIdomain\fR, \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR, \fIuser+foo\fR, +# \fIuser\fR, and @\fIdomain\fR. +# +# The \fBpropagate_unmatched_extensions\fR parameter controls whether +# an unmatched address extension (\fI+foo\fR) is propagated to the +# result of table lookup. +# 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.

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 address once.
