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.
