The format is described in:
http://www.postfix.org/access.5.html
man 5 access
HOST NAME/ADDRESS PATTERNS
With lookups from indexed files such as DB or DBM, or from networked
tables such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, the following lookup patterns are
examined in the order as listed:
...
net.work.addr.ess
net.work.addr
net.work
net Matches the specified IPv4 host address or subnetwork. An IPv4
host address is a sequence of four decimal octets separated by
".".
...
NOTE 1: The access map lookup key must be in canonical form: DO
NOT SPECIFY UNNECESSARY NULL CHARACTERS, and do not enclose net-
work address information with "[]" characters.
Emphasis added for clarity.
