From section 7.13, "Host lists":
. If the item is of the form
net-<search-type>;<search-data>
then the text form of the IP address of the subject host is used unmasked
as the lookup key. This is not the same as specifying "net32" for an IPv4
address or "net128" for an IPv6 address, because the mask value is not
included in the key. However, IPv6 addresses are still converted to an
unabbreviated form, using lower case letters and full stops as
separators.
So if you've got a CDB file whose keys are IP addresses, as strings, you
can access it by (for example)
host_reject_recipients = net-cdb;/the/cdb/file
