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. +# SEE ALSO +# postmap(1), Postfix lookup table manager +# README FILES +# .ad +# .fi +# Use "\fBpostconf readme_directory\fR" or +# "\fBpostconf html_directory\fR" to locate this information. +# .na +# .nf +# DATABASE_README, Postfix lookup table overview +# LICENSE +# .ad +# .fi +# The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software. +# AUTHOR(S) +# Geoff Gibbs +# UK-HGMP-RC +# Hinxton +# Cambridge +# CB10 1SB, UK +# +# Adopted and adapted by: +# Wietse Venema +# IBM T.J.
