NISPLUS_TABLE(5)                       File Formats Manual                       NISPLUS_TABLE(5)

NAME
       nisplus_table - Postfix NIS+ client

SYNOPSIS
       postmap -q "string" "nisplus:[name=%s];name.name."

       postmap -q - "nisplus:[name=%s];name.name." <inputfile

DESCRIPTION
       The  Postfix  mail system uses optional lookup tables.  These tables are usually in dbm or
       db format.  Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified as NIS+ databases.

       To find out what types of lookup tables your Postfix system supports use the "postconf -m"
       command.

       To  test Postfix NIS+ lookup tables, use the "postmap -q" command as described in the SYN-
       OPSIS above.

QUERY SYNTAX
       Most of the NIS+ query is specified via the NIS+ map name. The general format of a Postfix
       NIS+ map name is as follows:

           nisplus:[name=%s];name.name.name.:column

       Postfix  NIS+ map names differ from what one normally would use with commands such as nis-
       cat:

       o      With each NIS+ table lookup, "%s" is replaced by a version of  the  lookup  string.
              There can be only one "%s" instance in a Postfix NIS+ map name.

       o      Postfix NIS+ map names use ";" instead of ",", because the latter character is spe-
              cial in the Postfix main.cf file.  Postfix replaces ";" characters in the map  name
              by "," before making NIS+ queries.

       o      The  ":column"  part in the NIS+ map name is not part of the actual NIS+ query. In-
              stead, it specifies the number of the table column that provides the lookup result.
              When no ":column" is specified the first column (1) is used.

EXAMPLE
       A NIS+ aliases map might be queried as follows:

           alias_maps = dbm:/etc/mail/aliases,
               nisplus:[alias=%s];mail_aliases.org_dir.$mydomain.:1

       This queries the local aliases file before the NIS+ file.
