As documented it depends on the kind of file. > I know these are basic questions, but looking for answers. Quoting from http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#mynetworks In main.cf: Specify a list of network addresses or network/netmask patterns, separated by commas and/or whitespace. Continue long lines by starting the next line with whitespace. The netmask specifies the number of bits in the network part of a host address. You can also specify "/file/name" or "type:table" patterns. In a "/file/name" A "/file/name" pattern is replaced by its contents. So the contents have the same format as main.cf. In the examples section, this is shown as "mynetworks = $config_directory/mynetworks" In a "type:table" A "type:table" lookup table is matched when a table entry matches a lookup string (the lookup result is ignored). In the examples section, this is shown as "mynetworks = hash:/etc/postfix/network_table". The description assumes that you know how to use hash: and other Postfix lookup tables. Wietse "
