# NAME
#	cidr_table 5
# SUMMARY
#	format of Postfix CIDR tables
# SYNOPSIS
#	\fBpostmap -q "\fIstring\fB" cidr:/etc/postfix/\fIfilename\fR
#
#	\fBpostmap -q - cidr:/etc/postfix/\fIfilename\fR <\fIinputfile\fR
# DESCRIPTION
#	The Postfix mail system uses optional lookup tables.
#	These tables are usually in \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
#	Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified in CIDR
#	(Classless Inter-Domain Routing) form.
#
#	To find out what types of lookup tables your Postfix system
#	supports use the "\fBpostconf -m\fR" command.
#
#	To test lookup tables, use the "\fBpostmap -q\fR" command as
#	described in the SYNOPSIS above.
# TABLE FORMAT
# .ad
# .fi
#	The general form of a Postfix CIDR table is:
# .IP "\fInetwork_address\fB/\fInetwork_mask     result\fR"
#	When a search string matches the specified network block,
#	use the corresponding \fIresult\fR value. Specify
#	0.0.0.0/0 to match every IPv4 address, and ::/0 to match
#	every IPv6 address.
#
#	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 ":".
#
#	Before comparisons are made, lookup keys and table entries
#	are converted from string to binary. Therefore table entries
#	will be matched regardless of redundant zero characters.
#
#	Note: address information may be enclosed inside "[]" but
#	this form is not recommended.
#
#	IPv6 support is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
# .IP "\fInetwork_address     result\fR"
#	When a search string matches the specified network address,
#	use the corresponding \fIresult\fR value.
# .IP "blank lines and comments"
#	Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are ignored, as
#	are lines whose first non-whitespace character is a `#'.
# .IP "multi-line text"
#	A logical line starts with non-whitespace text. A line that
#	starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
# TABLE SEARCH ORDER
# .ad
# .fi
#	Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a
#	pattern is found that matches the search string.
# EXAMPLE SMTPD ACCESS MAP
#	/etc/postfix/main.cf:
# .ti +4
#	smtpd_client_restrictions = ... cidr:/etc/postfix/client.cidr ...
#
#	/etc/postfix/client.cidr:
# .in +4
#	# Rule order matters. Put more specific whitelist entries
#	# before more general blacklist entries.
#       192.168.1.1             OK
#       192.168.0.0/16          REJECT
