.Sh NAME
.Nm makemap
.Nd create database maps for smtpd
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm makemap
.Op Fl U
.Op Fl d Ar dbtype
.Op Fl o Ar dbfile
.Op Fl t Ar type
.Ar file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
Maps provide a generic interface for associating textual key to a value.
Such associations may be accessed through a plaintext file, database, or DNS.
The format of these file types is described below.
.Nm
itself creates the database maps used by keyed map lookups specified in
.Xr smtpd.conf 5 .
.Pp
.Nm
reads input from
.Ar file
and writes data to a file whose name is made by adding a
.Dq .db
suffix to
.Ar file .
The current line can be extended over multiple lines using a backslash
.Pq Sq \e .
Comments can be put anywhere in the file using a hash mark
.Pq Sq # ,
and extend to the end of the current line.
Care should be taken when commenting out multi-line text:
the comment is effective until the end of the entire block.
In all cases,
.Nm
reads lines consisting of words separated by whitespace.
The first word of a line is the database key;
the remainder represents the mapped value.
The database key and value may optionally be separated
by the colon character.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl d Ar dbtype
Specify the format of the database.
Available formats are
.Ar hash ,
.Ar btree
and
.Ar dbm .
The default value is
.Ar hash .
.It Fl o Ar dbfile
Write the generated database to
.Ar dbfile .
.It Fl t Ar type
Specify the format of the resulting map file.
The default map format is suitable for storing simple, unstructured,
key-to-value string associations.
However, if the mapped value has special meaning,
as in the case of the virtual domains file,
a suitable
.Ar type
must be provided.
The available output types are:
.Bl -tag -width "aliases"
.It Cm aliases
The mapped value is a comma-separated list of mail destinations.
This format can be used for building user aliases and
user mappings for virtual domain files.
.It Cm set
There is no mapped value \(en a map of this type will only allow for
the lookup of keys.
This format can be used for building primary domain maps.
.El
.It Fl U
Instead of generating a database map from text input,
dump the contents of a database map as text
with the key and value separated with a tab.
.El
.Sh PRIMARY DOMAINS
Primary domains can be kept in tables.
To create a primary domain table, add each primary domain on a
single line by itself.
.Pp
In addition to adding an entry to the primary domain map,
one must add a filter rule that accepts mail for the domain
map, for example:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
table domains "/etc/mail/domains"
accept for domain <domains> deliver to mbox
.Ed
.Sh VIRTUAL DOMAINS
Virtual domains may also be kept in tables.
To create a virtual domain table, add each virtual domain on a
single line by itself.
.Pp
Virtual domains expect a mapping of virtual users to real users
in order to determine if a recipient is accepted or not.
The mapping format is an extension to
.Xr aliases 5 ,
which allows the use of
.Dq user@domain.tld
to accept user only on the specified domain,
.Dq user
to accept the user for any of the virtual domains,
.Dq @domain.tld
to provide a catch-all for the specified domain and
.Dq @
to provide a global catch-all for all domains.
.Xr smtpd 8
will perform the lookups in that specific order.
.Pp
To create single virtual address, add
.Dq user@example.com user
to the users map.
To handle all mail destined to any user at example.com, add
.Dq @example.com user
to the virtual map.
.Pp
In addition to adding an entry to the virtual map,
one must add a filter rule that accepts mail for virtual domains,
for example:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
table vdomains "/etc/mail/vdomains"
table vusers "/etc/mail/users"

accept for domain <vdomains> virtual <vusers> deliver to mbox
accept for domain example.org virtual <vusers> deliver to mbox
.Ed
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width "/etc/mail/aliasesXXX" -compact
.It Pa /etc/mail/aliases
List of user mail aliases.
.It Pa /etc/mail/secrets
List of remote host credentials.
.El
.Sh EXIT STATUS
.Ex -std makemap
.Sh SEE ALSO

.Xr smtpd.conf 5 ,

.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
command first appeared in
.Ox 4.6
as a replacement for the equivalent command shipped with sendmail.
