+# NAME
+# nisplus_table 5
+# SUMMARY
+# Postfix NIS+ client
+# SYNOPSIS
+# \fBpostmap -q "\fIstring\fB" "nisplus:[\fIname\fB=%s];\fIname.name.\fB"\fR
+#
+# \fBpostmap -q - "nisplus:[\fIname\fB=%s];\fIname.name.\fB" <\fIinputfile\fR
+# DESCRIPTION
+# The Postfix mail system uses optional lookup tables.
+# These tables are usually in \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
+# Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified as NIS+
+# databases.
+#
+# To find out what types of lookup tables your Postfix system
+# supports use the "\fBpostconf -m\fR" command.
+#
+# To test Postfix NIS+ lookup tables, use the "\fBpostmap -q\fR"
+# command as described in the SYNOPSIS above.
+# QUERY SYNTAX
+# .ad
+# .fi
+# Most of the NIS+ query is specified via the NIS+ map name. The
+# general format of a Postfix NIS+ map name is as follows:
+#
+# .fi
+# \fBnisplus:[\fIname\fB=%s];\fIname.name.name\fB.:\fIcolumn\fR
+# .fi
+#
+# Postfix NIS+ map names differ from what one normally
+# would use with commands such as \fBniscat\fR:
+# .IP \(bu
+# With each NIS+ table lookup, "\fB%s\fR" is replaced by a
+# version of the lookup string. There can be only one
+# "\fB%s\fR" instance in a Postfix NIS+ map name.
+# .IP \(bu
+# Postfix NIS+ map names use "\fB;\fR" instead of "\fB,\fR",
+# because the latter character is special in the Postfix
+# main.cf file. Postfix replaces "\fB;\fR" characters in
+# the map name by "\fB,\fR" before making NIS+ queries.
+# .IP \(bu
+# The ":\fIcolumn\fR" part in the NIS+ map name is not part
+# of the actual NIS+ query. Instead, it specifies the number
+# of the table column that provides the lookup result. When
+# no ":\fIcolumn\fR" is specified the first column (1) is used.
+# EXAMPLE
+# .ad
+# .fi
+# A NIS+ aliases map might be queried as follows:
+#
+# .nf
+# alias_maps = dbm:/etc/mail/aliases,
+# nisplus:[alias=%s];mail_aliases.org_dir.$mydomain.:1
+# .fi
+#
+# This queries the local aliases file before the NIS+ file.

+# README FILES
+# .ad
+# .fi
+# Use "\fBpostconf readme_directory\fR" or
+# "\fBpostconf html_directory\fR" to locate this information.
