# NAME
#        relocated - format of Postfix relocated table
# 
# SYNOPSIS
#        postmap /etc/postfix/relocated
# 
# DESCRIPTION
#        The  optional  relocated table provides the information that is used in
#        "user has moved to new_location" bounce messages.
# 
#        Normally, the relocated table is specified as a text file  that  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.  Execute
#        the  command  postmap  /etc/postfix/relocated  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  expressions.  In  that  case,  the
#        lookups are done in a slightly different way as described below.
# 
#        Table lookups are case insensitive.
# 
# TABLE FORMAT
#        The input format for the postmap(1) command is as follows:
# 
#        o      An entry has one of the following form:
#                    pattern      new_location
#               Where  new_location  specifies  contact  information  such as an
#               email address, or perhaps a street address or telephone  number.
# 
#        o      Empty  lines and whitespace-only lines are ignored, as are lines
#               whose first non-whitespace character is a `#'.
# 
#        o      A logical line starts with  non-whitespace  text.  A  line  that
#               starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
# 
#        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:
# 
#        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 prece-
#               dence.
# 
# ADDRESS EXTENSION
#        When a mail address localpart contains the optional recipient delimiter
#        (e.g.,  user+foo@domain),  the  lookup  order becomes: user+foo@domain,
#        user@domain, user+foo, user, and @domain.
# 
# REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES
#        This section describes how the table lookups change when the  table  is
#        given  in the form of regular expressions. For a description of regular
#        expression lookup table syntax, see regexp_table(5) or pcre_table(5).
# 
#        Each pattern is a regular expression that  is  applied  to  the  entire
#        address  being looked up. Thus, user@domain mail addresses are not bro-
#        ken up into their user and @domain constituent parts, nor  is  user+foo
#        broken up into user and foo.
# 
#        Patterns  are  applied  in the order as specified in the table, 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 interpo-
#        lated as $1, $2 and so on.
# 
# BUGS
#        The table format does not understand quoting conventions.
# 
# CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
#        The following main.cf parameters are especially relevant to this topic.
#        See the Postfix main.cf file for syntax details and for default values.
#        Use the postfix reload command after a configuration change.
# 
#        relocated_maps
#               List of lookup tables for relocated users or sites.
# 
#        Other parameters of interest:
# 
#        inet_interfaces
#               The network interface addresses that this system  receives  mail
#               on.   You  need  to  stop  and start Postfix when this parameter
#               changes.
# 
#        mydestination
#               List of domains that this mail system considers local.
# 
#        myorigin
#               The domain that is appended to locally-posted mail.
