NAME
       socketmap_table - Postfix socketmap table lookup client
SYNOPSIS
       postmap -q "string" socketmap:inet:host:port:name
       postmap -q "string" socketmap:unix:pathname:name
       postmap -q - socketmap:inet:host:port:name <inputfile
       postmap -q - socketmap:unix:pathname:name <inputfile
DESCRIPTION
       The  Postfix  mail  system  uses optional tables for address rewriting.
       mail routing or policy lookup.
       The Postfix socketmap client expects TCP endpoint  names  of  the  form
       inet:host:port:name,  or  UNIX-domain  endpoints of the form unix:path-
       name:name.  In both cases, name specifies the name field in a socketmap
       client request (see "REQUEST FORMAT" below).
PROTOCOL
       Socketmaps use a simple protocol: the client sends one request, and the
       server sends one reply.  Each request and each reply are  sent  as  one
       netstring object.
REQUEST FORMAT
       The  socketmap  protocol supports only the lookup request.  The request
       has the following form:

       name <space> key
              Search the named socketmap for the specified key.
       Postfix will not generate partial search  keys  such  as  domain  names
       without  one  or more subdomains, network addresses without one or more
       least-significant octets, or email  addresses  without  the  localpart,
       address  extension  or domain portion. This behavior is also found with
       cidr:, pcre:, and regexp: tables.
REPLY FORMAT
       The Postfix socketmap client requires that replies are not longer  than
       100000  characters (not including the netstring encapsulation). Replies
       must have the following form:
       OK <space> data
              The requested data was found.
       NOTFOUND <space>
              The requested data was not found.
       TEMP <space> reason
       TIMEOUT <space> reason
       PERM <space> reason
              The request failed. The reason,  if  non-empty,  is  descriptive
              text.
SECURITY
       This map cannot be used for security-sensitive information,
       because neither the connection nor the server are authenticated.
