CIDR_TABLE(5) CIDR_TABLE(5)
<b>NAME</b>
cidr_table - format of Postfix CIDR tables
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<b>postmap -q "</b><i>string</i><b>" <a href="cidr_table.5.html">cidr</a>:/etc/postfix/</b><i>filename</i>
<b>postmap -q - <a href="cidr_table.5.html">cidr</a>:/etc/postfix/</b><i>filename</i> <<i>inputfile</i>
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
The Postfix mail system uses optional lookup tables. These tables are
usually in <b>dbm</b> or <b>db</b> format. Alternatively, lookup tables can be spec-
ified in CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) form. In this case, each
input is compared against a list of patterns. When a match is found,
the corresponding result is returned and the search is terminated.
To find out what types of lookup tables your Postfix system supports
use the "<b>postconf -m</b>" command.
To test lookup tables, use the "<b>postmap -q</b>" command as described in the
SYNOPSIS above.
<b>TABLE FORMAT</b>
The general form of a Postfix CIDR table is:
<i>pattern result</i>
When a search string matches the specified <i>pattern</i>, use the cor-
responding <i>result</i> value. The <i>pattern</i> must be in <i>network/prefix</i>
or <i>network</i><b>_</b><i>address</i> form (see ADDRESS PATTERN SYNTAX below).
<b>!</b><i>pattern result</i>
When a search string does not match the specified <i>pattern</i>, use
the specified <i>result</i> value. The <i>pattern</i> must be in <i>network/pre-</i>
<i>fix</i> or <i>network</i><b>_</b><i>address</i> form (see ADDRESS PATTERN SYNTAX below).
This feature is available in Postfix 3.2 and later.
<b>if</b> <i>pattern</i>
<b>endif</b> When a search string matches the specified <i>pattern</i>, match that
search string against the patterns between <b>if</b> and <b>endif</b>. The
<i>pattern</i> must be in <i>network/prefix</i> or <i>network</i><b>_</b><i>address</i> form (see
ADDRESS PATTERN SYNTAX below). The <b>if</b>..<b>endif</b> can nest.
Note: do not prepend whitespace to text between <b>if</b>..<b>endif</b>.
This feature is available in Postfix 3.2 and later.
<b>if !</b><i>pattern</i>
<b>endif</b> When a search string does not match the specified <i>pattern</i>, match
that search string against the patterns between <b>if</b> and <b>endif</b>.
The <i>pattern</i> must be in <i>network/prefix</i> or <i>network</i><b>_</b><i>address</i> form
(see ADDRESS PATTERN SYNTAX below). The <b>if</b>..<b>endif</b> can nest.
Note: do not prepend whitespace to text between <b>if</b>..<b>endif</b>.
This feature is available in Postfix 3.2 and later.
blank lines and comments
Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are ignored, as are lines
whose first non-whitespace character is a `#'.
multi-line text
A logical line starts with non-whitespace text. A line that
starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
<b>TABLE SEARCH ORDER</b>
Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a
pattern is found that matches the search string.
<b>ADDRESS PATTERN SYNTAX</b>
Postfix CIDR tables are pattern-based. A pattern is either a <i>net-</i>
<i>work</i><b>_</b><i>address</i> which requires an exact match, or a <i>network</i><b>_</b><i>address/pre-</i>
<i>fix</i><b>_</b><i>length</i> where the <i>prefix</i><b>_</b><i>length</i> part specifies the length of the
<i>network</i><b>_</b><i>address</i> prefix that must be matched (the other bits in the <i>net-</i>
<i>work</i><b>_</b><i>address</i> part must be zero).
An IPv4 network address is a sequence of four decimal octets separated
by ".", and an IPv6 network address is a sequence of three to eight
hexadecimal octet pairs separated by ":" or "::", where the latter is
short-hand for a sequence of one or more all-zero octet pairs. The pat-
tern 0.0.0.0/0 matches every IPv4 address, and ::/0 matches every IPv6
address. IPv6 support is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
Before comparisons are made, lookup keys and table entries are con-
verted from string to binary. Therefore, IPv6 patterns will be matched
regardless of leading zeros (a leading zero in an IPv4 address octet
indicates octal notation).
Note: address information may be enclosed inside "[]" but this form is
not required.
<b>INLINE SPECIFICATION</b>
The contents of a table may be specified in the table name (Postfix 3.7
and later). The basic syntax is:
<a href="postconf.5.html">main.cf</a>:
<i>parameter</i> <b>= .. <a href="cidr_table.5.html">cidr</a>:{ {</b> <i>rule-1</i> <b>}, {</b> <i>rule-2</i> <b>} .. } ..</b>
<a href="master.5.html">master.cf</a>:
<b>.. -o {</b> <i>parameter</i> <b>= .. <a href="cidr_table.5.html">cidr</a>:{ {</b> <i>rule-1</i> <b>}, {</b> <i>rule-2</i> <b>} .. } .. } ..</b>
Postfix ignores whitespace after '{' and before '}', and writes each
<i>rule</i> as one text line to an in-memory file:
in-memory file:
rule-1
rule-2
..
Postfix parses the result as if it is a file in /etc/postfix.
Note: if a rule contains <b>$</b>, specify <b>$$</b> to keep Postfix from trying to
do <i>$name</i> expansion as it evaluates a parameter value.
<b>EXAMPLE SMTPD ACCESS MAP</b>
/etc/postfix/<a href="postconf.5.html">main.cf</a>:
<a href="postconf.5.html#smtpd_client_restrictions">smtpd_client_restrictions</a> = ... <a href="cidr_table.5.html">cidr</a>:/etc/postfix/client.cidr ...
/etc/postfix/client.<a href="cidr_table.5.html">cidr</a>:
# Rule order matters. Put more specific allowlist entries
# before more general denylist entries.
