Postfix socketmap table lookup client
"SYNOPSIS"
postmap -q "string" socketmap:inet:host:port:nameThe Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address rewriting. mail routing or policy lookup. The Postfix socketmap client expects TCP endpoint names of the form inet:host:port:name, or UNIX-domain endponts of the form unix:pathname:name. In both cases, name specifies the name field in a socketmap client request (see "REQUEST FORMAT" below).postmap -q "string" socketmap:unix:pathname:name postmap -q - socketmap:inet:host:port:name <inputfile
postmap -q - socketmap:unix:pathname:name <inputfile
DESCRIPTION
"PROTOCOL"
Socketmaps use a simple protocol: the client sends one request, and the server sends one reply. Each request and reply are sent as one netstring object.
"REQUEST FORMAT"
The socketmap protocol supports only the lookup request. Postfix will not generate partial search keys such as domain names without one or more subdomains, network addresses without one or more least-significant octets, or email addresses without the localpart, address extension or domain portion. This behavior is also found with cidr:, pcre:, and regexp: tables.
"name <space> key"
Search the named socketmap for the specified key.
"REPLY FORMAT"
The Postfix socketmap client requires that replies are not longer than 100000 characters (not including the netstring encapsulation). Replies must have the following form:
"OK <space> data"
The requested data was found.
"NOTFOUND <space>"
The requested data was not found.
"TEMP <space> reason"
"TIMEOUT <space> reason"
"PERM <space> reason"
The request failed. The reason, if non-empty, is descriptive
text.
"SECURITY"
This map cannot be used for security-sensitive information, because neither the connection nor the server are authenticated."SEE ALSO"http://cr.yp.to/proto/netstrings.txt, netstring definition postconf(1), Postfix supported lookup tables postmap(1), Postfix lookup table manager regexp_table(5), format of regular expression tables pcre_table(5), format of PCRE tables cidr_table(5), format of CIDR tables"README FILES"Use "postconf readme_directory" or "postconf html_directory" to locate this information.DATABASE_README, Postfix lookup table overviewThe protocol limits are not yet configurable.BUGS"LICENSE"The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software."HISTORY"Socketmap support was introduced with Postfix version 2.10."AUTHOR(S)"Wietse Venema IBM T.J.
