Because the compressed form is what Postfix logs, therefore the
compressed form is what Postfix uses for access map lookups. If
Postfix were to use form X for logging and some unspecified different
form Y for access map lookups, then that would be a real WTF.
Instead, Postfix documents how it derives lookups from the from X.
Again, I recmmend using cidr if you need control over the matching
process.
