#++ # NAME # access 5 # SUMMARY # format of Postfix access table # SYNOPSIS # \fBpostmap /etc/postfix/access\fR # DESCRIPTION # The optional \fBaccess\fR table directs the Postfix SMTP server # to selectively reject or accept mail from or to specific hosts, # domains, networks, host addresses or mail addresses. # # The table 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. After an update # it may take a minute or so before the change becomes visible. # Issue a \fBpostfix reload\fR command to eliminate the delay. # # The format of the access table is as follows: # .IP "blanks and comments" # Blank lines are ignored, as are lines beginning with `#'. # .IP "\fIpattern action\fR" # When \fIpattern\fR matches a mail address, domain or host address, # perform the corresponding \fIaction\fR. # PATTERNS # Patterns are tried in the order as listed below: # .ad # .fi # .IP \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR # Matches the specified mail address. # .IP \fIdomain.name\fR # Matches the \fIdomain.name\fR itself and any subdomain thereof, # either in hostnames or in mail addresses. Top-level domains will # never be matched. # .IP \fIuser\fR@ # Matches all mail addresses with the specified user part. # .IP \fInet.work.addr.ess\fR # .IP \fInet.work.addr\fR # .IP \fInet.work\fR # .IP \fInet\fR # Matches any host address in the specified network. A network # address is a sequence of one or more octets separated by ".". # ACTIONS # .ad # .fi # .IP "[\fB45\fR]\fIXX text\fR" # Reject the address etc. that matches the pattern, and respond with # the numerical code and text. # .IP \fBREJECT\fR # Reject the address etc. that matches the pattern. A generic # error response message is generated. # .IP \fBOK\fR # .IP "\fIAny other text\fR" # Accept the address etc. that matches the pattern. # BUGS # The table format does not understand quoting conventions. # SEE ALSO # postmap(1) create mapping table # smtpd(8) smtp server # LICENSE # .ad # .fi # The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software. # AUTHOR(S) # Wietse Venema # IBM T.J.
