ACCESS(5)                                               ACCESS(5)


<b>NAME</b>
       access - format of Postfix access table

<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
       <b>postmap</b> <b>/etc/postfix/access</b>

<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
       The  optional <b>access</b> 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 <a href="postmap.1.html"><b>postmap</b>(1)</a>  command.  The
       result,  an  indexed file in <b>dbm</b> or <b>db</b> 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 <b>postfix</b> <b>reload</b> command to eliminate the delay.

       The format of the access table is as follows:

       blanks and comments
              Blank lines are ignored,  as  are  lines  beginning
              with `#'.

       <i>pattern</i> <i>action</i>
              When <i>pattern</i> matches a mail address, domain or host
              address, perform the corresponding <i>action</i>.

<b>PATTERNS</b>
       Patterns are tried in the order as listed below:

       <i>user</i>@<i>domain</i>
              Matches the specified mail address.

       <i>domain.name</i>
              Matches the <i>domain.name</i> itself  and  any  subdomain
              thereof,  either in hostnames or in mail addresses.
              Top-level domains will never be matched.

       <i>user</i>@  Matches all mail addresses with the specified  user
              part.

       <i>net.work.addr.ess</i>

       <i>net.work.addr</i>

       <i>net.work</i>

       <i>net</i>    Matches  any host address in the specified network.
              A network address is a  sequence  of  one  or  more
              octets separated by ".".

<b>ACTIONS</b>




                                                                1





ACCESS(5)                                               ACCESS(5)


       [<b>45</b>]<i>XX</i> <i>text</i>
              Reject  the  address etc. that matches the pattern,
              and respond with the numerical code and text.

       <b>REJECT</b> Reject the address etc. that matches the pattern. A
              generic error response message is generated.

       <b>OK</b>

       <i>Any</i> <i>other</i> <i>text</i>
              Accept the address etc. that matches the pattern.

<b>BUGS</b>
       The  table format does not understand quoting conventions.
