This is the important part here: NOTE 2: use the cidr lookup table type to specify netâ work/netmask patterns. See cidr_table(5) for details.
Ok, I saw that, but that still doesn't explain why the man 5 access example doesn't work. The man page suggests that you can designate "221 reject" and have it reject all hosts under the 221 net implying 221.0.0.0/24. But oviously it doesn't
If you use a cidr table you get:
# cat client_check 218.0.0.0/8 REJECT 221.0.0.0/8 REJECT
# postmap -q 221.1.1.1 cidr:client_check REJECT
How does this work?? Wouldn't you need /24 to reject the entire class A network range?? (or maybe I just don't understand....) Thank you again for your wisdom sandy! -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
