RELOCATED(5)                                                      RELOCATED(5)

<b>NAME</b>
       relocated - Postfix relocated table format

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

<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
       The  optional  <a href="relocated.5.html"><b>relocated</b>(5)</a> table provides the information
       that is used in "user has moved  to  <i>new</i><b>_</b><i>location</i>"  bounce
       messages.

       Normally,  the  <a href="relocated.5.html"><b>relocated</b>(5)</a>  table is specified as a text
       file that 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.  Execute  the  command
       "<b>postmap  /etc/postfix/relocated</b>"  in order to rebuild the
       indexed file after changing the relocated 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".

       Table lookups are case insensitive.

<b>TABLE FORMAT</b>
       The input format for the <a href="postmap.1.html"><b>postmap</b>(1)</a> command is as follows:

       <b>o</b>      An entry has one of the following form:
                   <i>pattern      new</i><b>_</b><i>location</i>
              Where <i>new</i><b>_</b><i>location</i>  specifies  contact  information
              such  as  an  email  address,  or  perhaps a street
              address or telephone number.

       <b>o</b>      Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are  ignored,
              as  are  lines whose first non-whitespace character
              is a `#'.

       <b>o</b>      A logical line starts with non-whitespace  text.  A
              line  that starts with whitespace continues a logi-
              cal line.

<b>TABLE SEARCH ORDER</b>
       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:

       <i>user</i>@<i>domain</i>
              Matches <i>user</i>@<i>domain</i>. This form has precedence  over
              all other forms.

       <i>user</i>   Matches <i>user</i>@<i>site</i> when <i>site</i> is $<b><a href="postconf.5.html#myorigin">myorigin</a></b>, when <i>site</i>
              is listed in $<b><a href="postconf.5.html#mydestination">mydestination</a></b>, or when <i>site</i> is listed
              in $<b><a href="postconf.5.html#inet_interfaces">inet_interfaces</a></b> or $<b><a href="postconf.5.html#proxy_interfaces">proxy_interfaces</a></b>.

       @<i>domain</i>
              Matches  other  addresses  in <i>domain</i>. This form has
              the lowest precedence.

<b>ADDRESS EXTENSION</b>
       When a mail address localpart contains the optional recip-
       ient  delimiter  (e.g., <i>user+foo</i>@<i>domain</i>), the lookup order
       becomes: <i>user+foo</i>@<i>domain</i>, <i>user</i>@<i>domain</i>, <i>user+foo</i>, <i>user</i>, and
       @<i>domain</i>.

<b>REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES</b>
       This  section  describes how the table lookups change when
       the table is given in the form of regular  expressions  or
       when  lookups  are  directed  to a TCP-based server. For a
       description of regular expression lookup table syntax, see
       <a href="regexp_table.5.html"><b>regexp_table</b>(5)</a> or <a href="pcre_table.5.html"><b>pcre_table</b>(5)</a>. For a description of the
       TCP client/server table lookup protocol, see <b>tcp_table</b>(5).
       This  feature is not available up to and including Postfix
       version 2.2.

       Each pattern is a regular expression that  is  applied  to
       the entire address being looked up. Thus, <i>user@domain</i> mail
       addresses are not broken up into their  <i>user</i>  and  <i>@domain</i>
       constituent parts, nor is <i>user+foo</i> broken up into <i>user</i> and
       <i>foo</i>.

       Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the  ta-
       ble,  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 <b>$1</b>, <b>$2</b> and so on.

<b>TCP-BASED TABLES</b>
       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 <b>tcp_ta-</b>
       <b>ble</b>(5).  This feature is not available up to and including
       Postfix version 2.2.

       Each lookup operation uses the entire address once.  Thus,
       <i>user@domain</i>  mail  addresses  are not broken up into their
       <i>user</i> and <i>@domain</i> constituent parts, nor is <i>user+foo</i> broken
       up into <i>user</i> and <i>foo</i>.

       Results are the same as with indexed file lookups.

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

<b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b>
       The following <b>main.cf</b> parameters are especially  relevant.
       The  text  below  provides  only  a parameter summary. See
