grep and doc/spec.txt are your friends. :)
From section 10.12 of the spec:
. If a pattern starts with '@@' followed by a single-key lookup item (for
example, "@@lsearch;/some/file"), the address that is being checked is
split into a local part and a domain. The domain is looked up in the
file. If it is not found, there is no match. If it is found, the data
that is looked up from the file is treated as a colon-separated list of
local part patterns, each of which is matched against the subject local
part in turn.
The lookup may be a partial one, and/or one involving a search for a
default keyed by '*' (see section 9.4). The local part patterns that are
looked up can be regular expressions or begin with '*', or even be
further lookups. They may also be independently negated. For example,
with
deny senders = @@dbm;/etc/reject-by-domain
