RELOCATED(5) RELOCATED(5)
NAME
relocated - format of Postfix relocated table
SYNOPSIS
postmap /etc/postfix/relocated
DESCRIPTION
The optional relocated file provides the information that
is used in "user has moved to new_location" bounce mes-
sages.
The file serves as input to the postmap(1) command. The
result, an indexed file in dbm or db format, is used for
fast searching by the mail system. After an update issue a
postfix reload command to make the change visible.
Table lookups are case insensitive.
The format of the table is as follows:
o Blank lines are ignored, as are lines beginning
with `#'.
o An entry has one of the following form:
key new_location
Where new_location specifies contact information
such as an email address, or perhaps a street
address or telephone number.
The key field is one of the following:
user@domain
Matches user@domain. This form has precedence over
all other forms.
user Matches user@site when site is $myorigin, when site
is listed in $mydestination, or when site is listed
in $inet_interfaces.
@domain
Matches every address in domain. This form has the
lowest precedence.
ADDRESS EXTENSION
When the search fails, and the address localpart contains
the optional recipient delimiter (e.g., user+foo@domain),
the search is repeated for the unextended address (e.g.
user@domain).
BUGS
The table format does not understand quoting conventions.
