The need to use "stuff" in the "poatmap -q" command indicates that
the query contained one or more whitespace characters. In the
"postmap -q" command, a query that contains whitespace needs to be
enclosed to prevent the shell (bash) from splitting it into multiple
arguments.
Also note this in the postmap manpage:
INPUT FILE FORMAT
The format of a lookup table input file is as follows:
- A table entry has the form
key whitespace value
... Whitespace in lookup keys is supported in Postfix 3.2 and
later, by surrounding the key with double quote characters `"'.
Within the double quotes, double quote `"' and backslash `\'
characters can be included by quoting them with a preceding
backslash.
