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.
