The postmap(1) command does not support any of the partial key lookups performed by Postfix when doing access(5), transport(5), virtual(5), generic(5), ... lookups. Indeed not all these higher-level map types generate partial keys in the same way. So postmap cannot without further (not-yet implemented options) know how to do these lookups. > bigsky:~ root# postmap -vs /etc/postfix/client_checks > .hostwindsdns.com 550 5.7.1 Too many brute force attacks from your > hosting provider That's a partial key. > bigsky:~ root# postmap -q hwsrv-205226.hostwindsdns.com -v > /etc/postfix/client_checks This key is not present (verbatim) in the lookup table. -- Viktor.
