.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.ad
|
|
.fi
|
|
The optional \fBtransport\fR table specifies a mapping from email
|
|
addresses to message delivery transports and/or relay hosts. The
|
|
mapping is used by the \fBtrivial-rewrite\fR(8) daemon.
|
|
|
|
Normally, the \fBtransport\fR table is specified as a text file
|
|
that 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. Execute the command
|
|
\fBpostmap /etc/postfix/transport\fR in order to rebuild the indexed
|
|
file after changing the transport 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 expressions. In that case,
|
|
the lookups are done in a slightly different way as described
|
|
in section "REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES".
|
|
.SH TABLE FORMAT
|
|
.na
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ad
|
|
.fi
|
|
The format of the transport table is as follows:
|
|
.IP "\fIpattern result\fR"
|
|
When \fIpattern\fR matches the recipient address or domain, use the
|
|
corresponding \fIresult\fR.
|
|
.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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fIpattern\fR specifies an email address, a domain name, or
|
|
a domain name hierarchy, as described in section "TABLE LOOKUP".
|
|
|
|
The \fIresult\fR is of the form \fItransport\fB:\fInexthop\fR.
|
|
The \fItransport\fR field specifies a mail delivery transport
|
|
such as \fBsmtp\fR or \fBlocal\fR. The \fInexthop\fR field
|
|
specifies where and how to deliver mail. More details are given
|
|
in section "RESULT FORMAT".
|
|
.SH TABLE LOOKUP
|
|
.na
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ad
|
|
.fi
|
|
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:
|
|
.IP "\fIuser+extension@domain transport\fR:\fInexthop\fR"
|
|
Mail for \fIuser+extension@domain\fR is delivered through
|
|
\fItransport\fR to
|
|
\fInexthop\fR.
|
|
.IP "\fIuser@domain transport\fR:\fInexthop\fR"
|
|
Mail for \fIuser@domain\fR is delivered through \fItransport\fR to
|
|
\fInexthop\fR.
|
|
.IP "\fIdomain transport\fR:\fInexthop\fR"
|
|
Mail for \fIdomain\fR is delivered through \fItransport\fR to
|
|
\fInexthop\fR.
|
|
.IP "\fI.domain transport\fR:\fInexthop\fR"
|
|
Mail for any subdomain of \fIdomain\fR is delivered through
|
|
\fItransport\fR to \fInexthop\fR. This applies only when the
|
|
string \fBtransport_maps\fR is not listed in the
|
|
\fBparent_domain_matches_subdomains\fR configuration setting.
|
|
Otherwise, a domain name matches itself and its subdomains.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note 1: the special pattern \fB*\fR represents any address (i.e. it
|
|
functions as the wild-card pattern).
|
|
|
|
Note 2: the null recipient address is looked up as
|
|
\fB$empty_address_recipient\fR@\fB$myhostname\fR (default:
|
|
mailer-daemon@hostname).
|
|
.SH RESULT FORMAT
|
|
.na
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ad
|
|
.fi
|
|
The transport field specifies the name of a mail delivery transport
|
|
(the first name of a mail delivery service entry in the Postfix
|
|
\fBmaster.cf\fR file).
|
|
|
|
The interpretation of the nexthop field is transport
|
|
dependent. In the case of SMTP, specify \fIhost\fR:\fIservice\fR for a
|
|
non-default server port, and use [\fIhost\fR] or [\fIhost\fR]:\fIport\fR
|
|
in order to disable MX (mail exchanger) DNS lookups. The [] form
|
|
is required when you specify an IP address instead of a hostname.
|
|
|
|
A null \fItransport\fR and null \fInexthop\fR result means "do
|
|
not change": use the delivery transport and nexthop information
|
|
that would be used when the entire transport table did not exist.
|
|
|
|
A non-null \fItransport\fR field with a null \fInexthop\fR field
|
|
resets the nexthop information to the recipient domain.
|
|
|
|
A null \fItransport\fR field with non-null \fInexthop\fR field
|
|
does not modify the transport information.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
.na
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ad
|
|
.fi
|
|
In order to deliver internal mail directly, while using a
|
|
mail relay for all other mail, specify a null entry for
|
|
internal destinations (do not change the delivery transport or
|
|
the nexthop information) and specify a wildcard for all other
|
|
destinations.
|
|
|
|
.ti +5
|
|
\fB\&my.domain :\fR
|
|
.ti +5
|
|
\fB\&.my.domain :\fR
|
|
.ti +5
|
|
\fB* smtp:outbound-relay.my.domain\fR
|
|
|
|
In order to send mail for \fBfoo.org\fR and its subdomains
|
|
via the \fBuucp\fR transport to the UUCP host named \fBfoo\fR:
|
|
|
|
.ti +5
|
|
\fBfoo.org uucp:foo\fR
|
|
.ti +5
|
|
\fB\&.foo.org uucp:foo\fR
|
|
|
|
When no nexthop host name is specified, the destination domain
|
|
name is used instead. For example, the following directs mail for
|
|
\fIuser\fR@\fBfoo.org\fR via the \fBslow\fR transport to a mail
|
|
exchanger for \fBfoo.org\fR. The \fBslow\fR transport could be
|
|
something that runs at most one delivery process at a time:
|
|
|
|
.ti +5
|
|
\fBfoo.org slow:\fR
|
|
|
|
When no transport is specified, Postfix uses the transport that
|
|
matches the address domain class (see TRANSPORT FIELD discussion
|
|
above). The following sends all mail for \fBfoo.org\fR and its
|
|
subdomains to host \fBgateway.foo.org\fR:
|
|
|
|
.ti +5
|
|
\fBfoo.org :[gateway.foo.org]\fR
|
|
.ti +5
|
|
\fB\&.foo.org :[gateway.foo.org]\fR
|
|
|
|
In the above example, the [] are used to suppress MX lookups.
|
|
The result would likely point to your local machine.
|
|
|
|
In the case of delivery via SMTP, one may specify
|
|
\fIhostname\fR:\fIservice\fR instead of just a host:
|
|
|
|
.ti +5
|
|
\fBfoo.org smtp:bar.org:2025\fR
|
|
|
|
This directs mail for \fIuser\fR@\fBfoo.org\fR to host \fBbar.org\fR
|
|
port \fB2025\fR. Instead of a numerical port a symbolic name may be
|
|
used. Specify [] around the hostname in order to disable MX lookups.
|
|
|
|
The error mailer can be used to bounce mail:
|
|
|
|
.ti +5
|
|
\fB\&.foo.org error:mail for *.foo.org is not deliverable\fR
|
|
|
|
This causes all mail for \fIuser\fR@\fIanything\fB.foo.org\fR
|
|
to be bounced.
|
|
.SH REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES
|
|
.na
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ad
|
|
.fi
|
|
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 \fBregexp_table\fR(5)
|
|
or \fBpcre_table\fR(5).
|
|
|
|
Each pattern is a regular expression that is applied to the entire
|
|
domain being looked up. Thus, \fIsome.domain.hierarchy\fR is not
|
|
broken up into parent domains.
|
|
|
|
Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a
|
|
pattern is found that matches the search string.
|
|
|
|
Results are the same as with indexed file lookups, with
|
|
the additional feature that parenthesized substrings from the
|
|
pattern can be interpolated as \fB$1\fR, \fB$2\fR and so on.
