# NAME
# pgsql_table 5
# SUMMARY
# Postfix PostgreSQL client configuration
# SYNOPSIS
# \fBpostmap -q "\fIstring\fB" pgsql:/etc/postfix/filename\fR
#
# \fBpostmap -q - pgsql:/etc/postfix/\fIfilename\fR <\fIinputfile\fR
# DESCRIPTION
# The Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address
# rewriting or mail routing. These tables are usually in
# \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
#
# Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified as PostgreSQL
# databases. In order to use PostgreSQL lookups, define a
# PostgreSQL source as a lookup table in main.cf, for example:
# .ti +4
# alias_maps = pgsql:/etc/pgsql-aliases.cf
#
# The file /etc/postfix/pgsql-aliases.cf has the same format as
# the Postfix main.cf file, and can specify the parameters
# described below.
# BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
# .ad
# .fi
# For compatibility with other Postfix lookup tables, PostgreSQL
# parameters can also be defined in main.cf. In order to do
# that, specify as PostgreSQL source a name that doesn't begin
# with a slash or a dot. The PostgreSQL parameters will then
# be accessible as the name you've given the source in its
# definition, an underscore, and the name of the parameter. For
# example, if the map is specified as "pgsql:\fIpgsqlname\fR",
# the parameter "hosts" below would be defined in main.cf as
# "\fIpgsqlname\fR_hosts".
#
# Note: with this form, the passwords for the PostgreSQL sources
# are written in main.cf, which is normally world-readable.
# Support for this form will be removed in a future Postfix
# version.
#
# Postfix 2.2 has enhanced query interfaces for MySQL and PostgreSQL,
# these include features previously available only in the Postfix
# LDAP client. In the new interface the SQL query is specified via
# a single \fBquery\fR parameter (described in more detail below).
# In Postfix 2.1 the parameter precedence was, from highest to lowest,
# \fBselect_function\fR, \fBquery\fR and finally \fBselect_field\fR, ...
#
# With Postfix 2.2 the \fBquery\fR parameter has highest precedence,
# and is used in preference to the still supported, but slated to be
# phased out, \fBselect_function\fR, \fBselect_field\fR, \fBtable\fR,
# \fBwhere_field\fR and \fBadditional_conditions\fR parameters. To
# migrate to the new interface set:
#
# .ti +4
# \fBquery\fR = SELECT \fIselect_function\fR('%s')
#
# or in the absence of \fBselection_function\fR, the lower precedence:
#
# .ti +4
# \fBquery\fR = SELECT \fIselect_field\fR
# .ti +8
# FROM \fItable\fR
# .ti +8
# WHERE \fIwhere_field\fR = '%s'
# .ti +12
# \fIadditional_conditions\fR
#
# Use the value, not the name, of each legacy parameter. Note
# that the \fBadditional_conditions\fR parameter is optional
# and if not empty, will always start with \fBAND\fR.
# LIST MEMBERSHIP
# .ad
# .fi
# When using SQL to store lists such as $mynetworks,
# $mydestination, $relay_domains, $local_recipient_maps,
# etc., it is important to understand that the table must
# store each list member as a separate key. The table lookup
# verifies the *existence* of the key. See "Postfix lists
# versus tables" in the DATABASE_README document for a
# discussion.
#
# Do NOT create tables that return the full list of domains
# in $mydestination or $relay_domains etc., or IP addresses
# in $mynetworks.
#
# DO create tables with each matching item as a key and with
# an arbitrary value. With SQL databases it is not uncommon to
# return the key itself or a constant value.
# PGSQL PARAMETERS
# .ad
# .fi
# .IP "\fBhosts\fR"
# The hosts that Postfix will try to connect to and query from.
# Specify \fIunix:\fR for UNIX-domain sockets, \fIinet:\fR for TCP
# connections (default). Example:
# .ti +4
# hosts = host1.some.domain host2.some.domain
# .ti +4
# hosts = unix:/file/name
#
# The hosts are tried in random order, with all connections over
# UNIX domain sockets being tried before those over TCP. The
# connections are automatically closed after being idle for about
# 1 minute, and are re-opened as necessary.
#
# NOTE: the \fIunix:\fR and \fIinet:\fR prefixes are accepted for
# backwards compatibility reasons, but are actually ignored.
# The PostgreSQL client library will always try to connect to an
# UNIX socket if the name starts with a slash, and will try a TCP
# connection otherwise.
# .IP "\fBuser, password\fR"
# The user name and password to log into the pgsql server.
# Example:
# .in +4
# user = someone
# .br
# password = some_password
# .in -4
# .IP "\fBdbname\fR"
# The database name on the servers. Example:
# .ti +4
# dbname = customer_database
# .IP "\fBquery\fR"
# The SQL query template used to search the database, where \fB%s\fR
# is a substitute for the address Postfix is trying to resolve,
# e.g.
# .ti +4
# query = SELECT replacement FROM aliases WHERE mailbox = '%s'
#
# This parameter supports the following '%' expansions:
# .RS
# .IP "\fB\fB%%\fR\fR"
# This is replaced by a literal '%' character. (Postfix 2.2 and later)
# .IP "\fB\fB%s\fR\fR"
# This is replaced by the input key.
# SQL quoting is used to make sure that the input key does not
# add unexpected metacharacters.
# .IP "\fB\fB%u\fR\fR"
# When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%u\fR
# is replaced by the SQL quoted local part of the address.
# Otherwise, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the entire search string.
# If the localpart is empty, the query is suppressed and returns
# no results.
# .IP "\fB\fB%d\fR\fR"
# When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%d\fR
# is replaced by the SQL quoted domain part of the address.
# Otherwise, the query is suppressed and returns no results.
# .IP "\fB\fB%[SUD]\fR\fR"
# The upper-case equivalents of the above expansions behave in the
# \fBquery\fR parameter identically to their lower-case counter-parts.
# With the \fBresult_format\fR parameter (see below), they expand the
# input key rather than the result value.
# .IP
# The above %S, %U and %D expansions are available with Postfix 2.2
# and later
# .IP "\fB\fB%[1-9]\fR\fR"
# The patterns %1, %2, ... %9 are replaced by the corresponding
# most significant component of the input key's domain. If the
# input key is \fIuser@mail.example.com\fR, then %1 is \fBcom\fR,
# %2 is \fBexample\fR and %3 is \fBmail\fR. If the input key is
# unqualified or does not have enough domain components to satisfy
# all the specified patterns, the query is suppressed and returns
# no results.
# .IP
# The above %1, ... %9 expansions are available with Postfix 2.2
# and later
# .RE
# .IP
# The \fBdomain\fR parameter described below limits the input
# keys to addresses in matching domains. When the \fBdomain\fR
# parameter is non-empty, SQL queries for unqualified addresses
# or addresses in non-matching domains are suppressed
# and return no results.
#
# The precedence of this parameter has changed with Postfix 2.2,
# in prior releases the precedence was, from highest to lowest,
# \fBselect_function\fR, \fBquery\fR, \fBselect_field\fR, ...
#
# With Postfix 2.2 the \fBquery\fR parameter has highest precedence,
# see COMPATIBILITY above.
#
# NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the \fBquery\fR parameter.
# .IP "\fBresult_format (default: \fB%s\fR)\fR"
# Format template applied to result attributes. Most commonly used
# to append (or prepend) text to the result. This parameter supports
# the following '%' expansions:
# .RS
# .IP "\fB\fB%%\fR\fR"
# This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
# .IP "\fB\fB%s\fR\fR"
# This is replaced by the value of the result attribute. When
# result is empty it is skipped.
# .IP "\fB%u\fR
# When the result attribute value is an address of the form
# user@domain, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the local part of the
# address. When the result has an empty localpart it is skipped.
# .IP "\fB\fB%d\fR\fR"
# When a result attribute value is an address of the form
# user@domain, \fB%d\fR is replaced by the domain part of
# the attribute value. When the result is unqualified it
# is skipped.
# .IP "\fB\fB%[SUD1-9]\fR\fB"
# The upper-case and decimal digit expansions interpolate
# the parts of the input key rather than the result. Their
# behavior is identical to that described with \fBquery\fR,
# and in fact because the input key is known in advance, queries
# whose key does not contain all the information specified in
# the result template are suppressed and return no results.
# .RE
# .IP
# For example, using "result_format = smtp:[%s]" allows one
# to use a mailHost attribute as the basis of a transport(5)
# table. After applying the result format, multiple values
# are concatenated as comma separated strings. The expansion_limit
# and parameter explained below allows one to restrict the number
# of values in the result, which is especially useful for maps that
# must return at most one value.
#
# The default value \fB%s\fR specifies that each result value should
# be used as is.
#
# This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
#
# NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the result format!
# .IP "\fBdomain (default: no domain list)\fR"
# This is a list of domain names, paths to files, or
# dictionaries. When specified, only fully qualified search
# keys with a *non-empty* localpart and a matching domain
# are eligible for lookup: 'user' lookups, bare domain lookups
# and "@domain" lookups are not performed. This can significantly
# reduce the query load on the PostgreSQL server.
# .ti +4
# domain = postfix.org, hash:/etc/postfix/searchdomains
#
# It is best not to use SQL to store the domains eligible
# for SQL lookups.
#
# This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
#
# NOTE: DO NOT define this parameter for local(8) aliases,
# because the input keys are always unqualified.
# .IP "\fBexpansion_limit (default: 0)\fR"
# A limit on the total number of result elements returned
# (as a comma separated list) by a lookup against the map.
# A setting of zero disables the limit. Lookups fail with a
# temporary error if the limit is exceeded. Setting the
# limit to 1 ensures that lookups do not return multiple
# values.
# .PP
# Pre-Postfix 2.2 legacy interfaces:
# .IP "\fBselect_function\fR"
# This parameter specifies a database function name. Example:
# .ti +4
# select_function = my_lookup_user_alias
#
# This is equivalent to:
# .ti +4
# query = SELECT my_lookup_user_alias('%s')
#
# This parameter overrides the legacy table-related fields (described
# below). With Postfix versions prior to 2.2, it also overrides the
# \fBquery\fR parameter. Starting with Postfix 2.2, the \fBquery\fR
# parameter has highest precedence, and this parameter is deprecated.
# Please migrate to the new \fBquery\fR interface as this interface
# is slated to be phased out.
# .PP
# The following parameters (with lower precedence than the
# \fBselect_function\fR interface described above) can be used to
# build the SQL select statement as follows:
#
# .ti +4
# SELECT [\fBselect_field\fR]
# .ti +4
# FROM [\fBtable\fR]
# .ti +4
# WHERE [\fBwhere_field\fR] = '%s'
# .ti +10
# [\fBadditional_conditions\fR]
#
# The specifier %s is replaced with each lookup by the lookup key
# and is escaped so if it contains single quotes or other odd
# characters, it will not cause a parse error, or worse, a security
# problem.
#
# Starting with Postfix 2.2, this interface is obsoleted by the more
# general \fBquery\fR interface described above. If higher precedence
# the \fBquery\fR or \fBselect_function\fR parameters described above
# are defined, these parameters are ignored. Please migrate to the new
# \fBquery\fR interface as this interface is slated to be phased out.
# .IP "\fBselect_field\fR"
# The SQL "select" parameter. Example:
# .ti +4
# \fBselect_field\fR = forw_addr
# .IP "\fBtable\fR"
# The SQL "select .. from" table name. Example:
# .ti +4
# \fBtable\fR = mxaliases
# .IP "\fBwhere_field\fR
# The SQL "select .. where" parameter. Example:
# .ti +4
# \fBwhere_field\fR = alias
# .IP "\fBadditional_conditions\fR
# Additional conditions to the SQL query. Example:
# .ti +4
# \fBadditional_conditions\fR = AND status = 'paid'
