I am running Postfix 2.4.6.

According to http://www.postfix.org/access.5.html, "The pattern
domain.tld also matches subdomains, but only when the string
smtpd_access_maps is listed in the Postfix
parent_domain_matches_subdomains configuration setting. Otherwise,
specify .domain.tld (note the initial dot) in order to match
subdomains".

% postconf | grep parent
parent_domain_matches_subdomains =
debug_peer_list
,fast_flush_domains
,mynetworks
,permit_mx_backup_networks
,qmqpd_authorized_clients,relay_domains,smtpd_access_maps

/usr/local/etc/postfix/client-restrictions:
volia.net REJECT You are a spammer; stay away.

% postmap -q volia.net hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/client-restrictions
REJECT You are a spammer; stay away.

% postmap -q subdomain.volia.net hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/client-
restrictions
%

Is there something wrong with my configuration or does postmap -q just
query the exact string and not match subdomains even though Postfix
will? I understand an actual attempt by the offending mail server
will eventually answer this question, but just curious about postmap
functionality.
