# ACCESS(5) ACCESS(5)
#
# NAME
# access - Postfix access table format
#
# SYNOPSIS
# postmap /etc/postfix/access
#
# postmap -q "string" /etc/postfix/access
#
# postmap -q - /etc/postfix/access <inputfile
#
# DESCRIPTION
# The optional access(5) table directs the Postfix SMTP
# server to selectively reject or accept mail. Access can be
# allowed or denied for specific host names, domain names,
# networks, host addresses or mail addresses.
#
# For an example, see the EXAMPLE section at the end of this
# manual page.
#
# Normally, the access(5) table is specified as a text file
# that serves as input to the postmap(1) command. The
# result, an indexed file in dbm or db format, is used for
# fast searching by the mail system. Execute the command
# "postmap /etc/postfix/access" in order to rebuild the
# indexed file after changing the access table.
#
# When the table is provided via other means such as NIS,
# LDAP or SQL, the same lookups are done as for ordinary
# indexed files.
#
# Alternatively, the table can be provided as a regular-
# expression map where patterns are given as regular expres-
# sions, or lookups can be directed to TCP-based server. In
# that case, the lookups are done in a slightly different
# way as described below under "REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES"
# and "TCP-BASED TABLES".
#
# CASE FOLDING
# The search string is folded to lowercase before database
# lookup. As of Postfix 2.3, the search string is not case
# folded with database types such as regexp: or pcre: whose
# lookup fields can match both upper and lower case.
#
# TABLE FORMAT
# The input format for the postmap(1) command is as follows:
#
# pattern action
# When pattern matches a mail address, domain or host
# address, perform the corresponding action.
#
# 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 logi-
# cal line.
#
# EMAIL ADDRESS PATTERNS
# With lookups from indexed files such as DB or DBM, or from
# networked tables such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, patterns are
# tried in the order as listed below:
#
# user@domain
# Matches the specified mail address.
#
# domain.tld
# Matches domain.tld as the domain part of an email
# address.
#
# The pattern domain.tld also matches subdomains, but
# only when the string smtpd_access_maps is listed in
# the Postfix parent_domain_matches_subdomains con-
# figuration setting (note that this is the default
# for some versions of Postfix). Otherwise, specify
# .domain.tld (note the initial dot) in order to
# match subdomains.
#
# user@ Matches all mail addresses with the specified user
# part.
#
# Note: lookup of the null sender address is not possible
# with some types of lookup table. By default, Postfix uses
# <> as the lookup key for such addresses. The value is
# specified with the smtpd_null_access_lookup_key parameter
# in the Postfix main.cf file.
#
# EMAIL ADDRESS EXTENSION
# When a mail address localpart contains the optional recip-
# ient delimiter (e.g., user+foo@domain), the lookup order
# becomes: user+foo@domain, user@domain, domain, user+foo@,
# and user@.
#
# HOST NAME/ADDRESS PATTERNS
# With lookups from indexed files such as DB or DBM, or from
# networked tables such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, the following
# lookup patterns are examined in the order as listed:
#
# domain.tld
# Matches domain.tld.
#
# The pattern domain.tld also matches subdomains, but
# only when the string smtpd_access_maps is listed in
# the Postfix parent_domain_matches_subdomains con-
# figuration setting. Otherwise, specify .domain.tld
# (note the initial dot) in order to match subdo-
# mains.
#
# net.work.addr.ess
#
# net.work.addr
#
# net.work
#
# net Matches the specified IPv4 host address or subnet-
# work. An IPv4 host address is a sequence of four
# decimal octets separated by ".".
#
# Subnetworks are matched by repeatedly truncating
# the last ".octet" from the remote IPv4 host address
# string until a match is found in the access table,
# or until further truncation is not possible.
#
# NOTE 1: The information in the access map should be
# in canonical form, with unnecessary null characters
# eliminated. Address information must not be
# enclosed with "[]" characters.
#
# NOTE 2: use the cidr lookup table type to specify
# network/netmask patterns. See cidr_table(5) for
# details.
#
# net:work:addr:ess
#
# net:work:addr
#
# net:work
#
# net Matches the specified IPv6 host address or subnet-
# work. An IPv6 host address is a sequence of three
# to eight hexadecimal octet pairs separated by ":".
#
# Subnetworks are matched by repeatedly truncating
# the last ":octetpair" from the remote IPv6 host
# address string until a match is found in the access
# table, or until further truncation is not possible.
#
# NOTE 1: the truncation and comparison are done with
# the string representation of the IPv6 host address.
# Thus, not all the ":" subnetworks will be tried.
#
# NOTE 2: The information in the access map should be
# in canonical form, with unnecessary null characters
# eliminated. Address information must not be
# enclosed with "[]" characters.
#
# NOTE 3: use the cidr lookup table type to specify
# network/netmask patterns. See cidr_table(5) for
# details.
#
# IPv6 support is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
#
# ACCEPT ACTIONS
# OK Accept the address etc. that matches the pattern.
#
# all-numerical
# An all-numerical result is treated as OK. This for-
# mat is generated by address-based relay authoriza-
# tion schemes such as pop-before-smtp.
#
# REJECT ACTIONS
# Postfix version 2.3 and later support enhanced status
# codes as defined in RFC 3463. When no code is specified
# at the beginning of the text below, Postfix inserts a
# default enhanced status code of "5.7.1" in the case of
# reject actions, and "4.7.1" in the case of defer actions.
# See "ENHANCED STATUS CODES" below.
#
# 4NN text
#
# 5NN text
# Reject the address etc. that matches the pattern,
# and respond with the numerical three-digit code and
# text. 4NN means "try again later", while 5NN means
# "do not try again".
#
# The reply code "421" causes Postfix to disconnect
# immediately (Postfix version 2.3 and later).
#
# REJECT optional text...
# Reject the address etc. that matches the pattern.
# Reply with $reject_code optional text... when the
# optional text is specified, otherwise reply with a
# generic error response message.
#
# DEFER_IF_REJECT optional text...
# Defer the request if some later restriction would
# result in a REJECT action. Reply with "450 optional
# text... when the optional text is specified, other-
# wise reply with a generic error response message.
#
# This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
#
# DEFER_IF_PERMIT optional text...
# Defer the request if some later restriction would
# result in a an explicit or implicit PERMIT action.
# Reply with "450 optional text... when the optional
# text is specified, otherwise reply with a generic
# error response message.
#
# This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
#
# OTHER ACTIONS
# restriction...
# Apply the named UCE restriction(s) (permit, reject,
# reject_unauth_destination, and so on).
#
# DISCARD optional text...
# Claim successful delivery and silently discard the
# message. Log the optional text if specified, oth-
# erwise log a generic message.
#
# Note: this action currently affects all recipients
# of the message. To discard only one recipient
# without discarding the entire message, use the
# transport(5) table to direct mail to the discard(8)
# service.
#
# This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
#
# DUNNO Pretend that the lookup key was not found. This
# prevents Postfix from trying substrings of the
# lookup key (such as a subdomain name, or a network
# address subnetwork).
#
# This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
#
# FILTER transport:destination
# After the message is queued, send the entire mes-
# sage through the specified external content filter.
# The transport:destination syntax is described in
# the transport(5) manual page. More information
# about external content filters is in the Postfix
# FILTER_README file.
#
# Note: this action overrides the main.cf con-
# tent_filter setting, and currently affects all
# recipients of the message.
#
# This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
#
# HOLD optional text...
# Place the message on the hold queue, where it will
# sit until someone either deletes it or releases it
# for delivery. Log the optional text if specified,
# otherwise log a generic message.
#
# Mail that is placed on hold can be examined with
# the postcat(1) command, and can be destroyed or
# released with the postsuper(1) command.
#
# Note: use "postsuper -r" to release mail that was
# kept on hold for a significant fraction of $maxi-
# mal_queue_lifetime or $bounce_queue_lifetime, or
# longer.
#
# Note: this action currently affects all recipients
# of the message.
#
# This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
#
# PREPEND headername: headervalue
# Prepend the specified message header to the mes-
# sage. When this action is used multiple times, the
# first prepended header appears before the second
# etc. prepended header.
#
# Note: this action does not support multi-line mes-
# sage headers.
#
# Note: this action must be used before the message
# content is received; it cannot be used in
# smtpd_end_of_data_restrictions.
#
# This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
#
# REDIRECT user@domain
# After the message is queued, send the message to
# the specified address instead of the intended
# recipient(s).
#
# Note: this action overrides the FILTER action, and
# currently affects all recipients of the message.
#
# This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
#
# WARN optional text...
# Log a warning with the optional text, together with
# client information and if available, with helo,
# sender, recipient and protocol information.
#
# This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
#
# ENHANCED STATUS CODES
# Postfix version 2.3 and later support enhanced status
# codes as defined in RFC 3463. When an enhanced status
# code is specified in an access table, it is subject to
# modification. The following transformations are needed
# when the same access table is used for client, helo,
# sender, or recipient access restrictions; they happen
# regardless of whether Postfix replies to a MAIL FROM, RCPT
# TO or other SMTP command.
#
# o When a sender address matches a REJECT action, the
# Postfix SMTP server will transform a recipient DSN
# status (e.g., 4.1.1-4.1.6) into the corresponding
# sender DSN status, and vice versa.
#
# o When non-address information matches a REJECT
# action (such as the HELO command argument or the
# client hostname/address), the Postfix SMTP server
# will transform a sender or recipient DSN status
# into a generic non-address DSN status (e.g.,
# 4.0.0).
#
# REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES
# This section describes how the table lookups change when
# the table is given in the form of regular expressions. For
# a description of regular expression lookup table syntax,
# see regexp_table(5) or pcre_table(5).
#
# Each pattern is a regular expression that is applied to
# the entire string being looked up. Depending on the appli-
# cation, that string is an entire client hostname, an
# entire client IP address, or an entire mail address. Thus,
# no parent domain or parent network search is done,
# user@domain mail addresses are not broken up into their
# user@ and domain constituent parts, nor is user+foo broken
# up into user and foo.
#
# Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the ta-
# ble, until a pattern is found that matches the search
# string.
#
# Actions are the same as with indexed file lookups, with
# the additional feature that parenthesized substrings from
# the pattern can be interpolated as $1, $2 and so on.
#
# TCP-BASED TABLES
# This section describes how the table lookups change when
# lookups are directed to a TCP-based server. For a descrip-
# tion of the TCP client/server lookup protocol, see tcp_ta-
# ble(5). This feature is not available up to and including
# Postfix version 2.3.
#
# Each lookup operation uses the entire query string once.
# Depending on the application, that string is an entire
# client hostname, an entire client IP address, or an entire
# mail address. Thus, no parent domain or parent network
# search is done, user@domain mail addresses are not broken
# up into their user@ and domain constituent parts, nor is
# user+foo broken up into user and foo.
#
# Actions are the same as with indexed file lookups.
#
# EXAMPLE
# The following example uses an indexed file, so that the
# order of table entries does not matter. The example per-
# mits access by the client at address 1.2.3.4 but rejects
# all other clients in 1.2.3.0/24. Instead of hash lookup
# tables, some systems use dbm. Use the command "postconf
# -m" to find out what lookup tables Postfix supports on
# your system.
#
# /etc/postfix/main.cf:
# smtpd_client_restrictions =
# check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/access
#
# /etc/postfix/access:
# 1.2.3 REJECT
# 1.2.3.4 OK
#
# Execute the command "postmap /etc/postfix/access" after
# editing the file.
#
# BUGS
# The table format does not understand quoting conventions.
