Subject: RE: [Exim] Ip address list 2 cdb
I think we are still missing each other - I'm want to go from an IP address
list not an alias list to a CDB.

The cdbmake command expects a key and data for each address - what would the
key be and what form does the data have to be in? text or binary?

Perhaps there is no data just a list of keys? - but them what form would the
keys be in, in that case?

I actually recommend freecdb, which is open source (DJB's stuff isn't)

Here's what I wrote:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
kenny:/etc/mail/virtualdomains# cat aliastocdbsrc
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

die "$0 < infile > outfile\n" if $#ARGV != -1;

while ($_=<STDIN>)
{
    next if (/^#/);
    next if (/^\s*$/);


    /^(.+?)\s*:\s*(.+?)\s*$/ or die "Can't split $_\n";


    print "+".length($1).",".length($2).":$1->$2\n";
}


# cdbmake requires an extra newline...
print "\n";
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
kenny:/etc/mail/virtualdomains# cat Makefile
ZONES=$(wildcard src/*)
CDBZONES=$(shell echo $(ZONES) | sed "s/src\//cdb\//g")

all: $(CDBZONES)

cdb/%:  src/%
        @echo "Rebuilding cdb file for $@"
        @cat $? | ./aliastocdbsrc | cdbmake $@ $@.tmp
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


A single entry would look like this:
+4,19:root->merlin@???

In your case, you'd have keys pointing to nothing I guess.
