PCRE_TABLE(5)                          File Formats Manual                          PCRE_TABLE(5)

NAME
       pcre_table - format of Postfix PCRE tables

SYNOPSIS
       postmap -q "string" pcre:/etc/postfix/filename

       postmap -q - pcre:/etc/postfix/filename <inputfile

       postmap -hmq - pcre:/etc/postfix/filename <inputfile

       postmap -bmq - pcre:/etc/postfix/filename <inputfile

DESCRIPTION
       The  Postfix  mail system uses optional tables for address rewriting, mail routing, or ac-
       cess control. These tables are usually in dbm or db format.

       Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified in Perl Compatible Regular Expression  form.
       In  this  case,  each input is compared against a list of patterns. When a match is found,
       the corresponding result is returned and the search is terminated.

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

       To  test  lookup  tables, use the "postmap -q" command as described in the SYNOPSIS above.
       Use "postmap -hmq - <file" for header_checks(5) patterns, and "postmap -bmq -  <file"  for
       body_checks(5) (Postfix 2.6 and later).

COMPATIBILITY
       With  Postfix version 2.2 and earlier specify "postmap -fq" to query a table that contains
       case sensitive patterns. Patterns are case insensitive by default.

TABLE FORMAT
       The general form of a PCRE table is:

       /pattern/flags result
              When pattern matches the input string, use the corresponding result value.

       !/pattern/flags result
              When pattern does not match the input string, use the corresponding result value.

       if /pattern/flags

       endif  If the input string matches /pattern/, then match that  input  string  against  the
              patterns between if and endif.  The if..endif can nest.

              Note: do not prepend whitespace to patterns inside if..endif.

              This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.

       if !/pattern/flags

       endif  If  the input string does not match /pattern/, then match that input string against
              the patterns between if and endif. The if..endif can nest.

              Note: do not prepend whitespace to patterns inside if..endif.

              This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.

       blank lines and comments
              Empty lines and whitespace-only  lines  are  ignored,  as  are  lines  whose  first
              non-whitespace character is a `#'.

       multi-line text
              A  logical line starts with non-whitespace text. A line that starts with whitespace
              continues a logical line.

       Each pattern is a perl-like regular  expression.  The  expression  delimiter  can  be  any
       non-alphanumerical  character,  except  whitespace or characters that have special meaning
       (traditionally the forward slash is used).  The regular expression can contain whitespace.

       By default, matching is case-insensitive, and newlines are not treated as special  charac-
       ters.  The  behavior is controlled by flags, which are toggled by appending one or more of
       the following characters after the pattern:

       i (default: on)
              Toggles the case sensitivity flag. By default, matching is case insensitive.

       m (default: off)
              Toggles the PCRE_MULTILINE flag. When this flag is on, the ^ and  $  metacharacters
              match  immediately  after and immediately before a newline character, respectively,
              in addition to matching at the start and end of the subject string.

       s (default: on)
              Toggles the PCRE_DOTALL flag. When this flag is on, the  .   metacharacter  matches
              the  newline  character. With Postfix versions prior to 2.0, the flag is off by de-
              fault, which is inconvenient for multi-line message header matching.

       x (default: off)
              Toggles the pcre extended flag. When this flag is on, whitespace characters in  the
              pattern  (other  than  in  a character class) are ignored.  To include a whitespace
              character as part of the pattern, escape it with backslash.

              Note: do not use #comment after patterns.

       A (default: off)
              Toggles the PCRE_ANCHORED flag.  When this flag is on, the pattern is forced to  be
              "anchored",  that  is,  it  is constrained to match only at the start of the string
              which is being searched (the "subject string"). This effect can also be achieved by
              appropriate constructs in the pattern itself.

       E (default: off)
              Toggles  the  PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY  flag. When this flag is on, a $ metacharacter in
              the pattern matches only at the end of the subject string.  Without  this  flag,  a
              dollar also matches immediately before the final character if it is a newline char-
              acter (but not before any other  newline  characters).  This  flag  is  ignored  if
              PCRE_MULTILINE flag is set.

       U (default: off)
              Toggles the ungreedy matching flag.  When this flag is on, the pattern matching en-
              gine inverts the "greediness" of the quantifiers so that they are not greedy by de-
              fault, but become greedy if followed by "?".  This flag can also set by a (?U) mod-
              ifier within the pattern.

       X (default: off)
              Toggles the PCRE_EXTRA flag.  When this flag is on, any backslash in a pattern that
              is followed by a letter that has no special meaning causes an error, thus reserving
              these combinations for future expansion.

SEARCH ORDER
       Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a pattern is found that
       matches the input string.

       Each  pattern  is  applied to the entire input string.  Depending on the application, that
       string is an entire client hostname, an entire client IP address, or an  entire  mail  ad-
       dress.   Thus, no parent domain or parent network search is done, and user@domain mail ad-
       dresses are not broken up into their user and domain constituent parts,  nor  is  user+foo
       broken up into user and foo.

TEXT SUBSTITUTION
       Substitution  of  substrings (text that matches patterns inside "()") from the matched ex-
       pression into the result string is requested with $1, $2, etc.; specify $$ to produce a  $
       character  as  output.   The macros in the result string may need to be written as ${n} or
       $(n) if they aren't followed by whitespace.

       Note: since negated patterns (those preceded by !) return a  result  when  the  expression
       does not match, substitutions are not available for negated patterns.

EXAMPLE SMTPD ACCESS MAP
       # Protect your outgoing majordomo exploders
       /^(?!owner-)(.*)-outgoing@(.*)/ 550 Use ${1}@${2} instead

       # Bounce friend@whatever, except when whatever is our domain (you would
       # be better just bouncing all friend@ mail - this is just an example).
       /^(friend@(?!my\.domain$).*)$/  550 Stick this in your pipe $1

       # A multi-line entry. The text is sent as one line.
       #
       /^noddy@my\.domain$/
        550 This user is a funny one. You really don't want to send mail to
        them as it only makes their head spin.

EXAMPLE HEADER FILTER MAP
       /^Subject: make money fast/     REJECT
       /^To: friend@public\.com/       REJECT

EXAMPLE BODY FILTER MAP
       # First skip over base 64 encoded text to save CPU cycles.
       # Requires PCRE version 3.
       ~^[[:alnum:]+/]{60,}$~          OK

       # Put your own body patterns here.
