Is the CIDR file a plain text flat file?

Stan,

  Yes. A representative line:

222.111.0.0/12          550 Rejected IP address.

Thank you. I knew what it's supposed to look like on the inside to start out with. I was just unsure if it needed to look like something else before being ingested by Postfix.

Do I need to run any commands against it to do the binary conversions or
is that something Postfix does automatically on the fly?

  Yes:

    check_client_access cidr:/etc/postfix/badip,

Oh, heheh. No, I meant like do I need to be running postmap on it from the command line kinda scenario, like with the access file.

I.e., can I just edit my access file, converting the dotted doubles, triples, and quads to CIDR slash notation, and use it as my CIDR file?

  Yup. That's what I did.

Again, thanks much Rich.
