 I've got a confusion issue, regarding postfix's postmap and when to use

 making regexp or pcre map types such as in header_checks, yet the
 header_checks file supplied with postfix 2.1 suggests to run it. In addition
 hash and other types i'm similar confused. Has this changed from 2.0 to 2.1?

I don't actually understand the question, but I'll take a try at
answering anyway.

The postmap command is what creates the databases from the source
files that you create for the maps.  Regular expressions are normally
used in the source files as a syntax for the entries.

I suggest asking postfix questions on the postfix lists...

I believe you are correct, certainly pcre  possibly regexp do not
require postmap to be run.  Postfix has the tools to help you work this
out for yourself:

Use postconf -m to find out what databases your system supports.

postfix postmap, when to use

Hello,
I've got a confusion issue, regarding postfix's postmap and when to use
it. I've read some documentation that suggests you don't need to run it when
making regexp or pcre map types such as in header_checks, yet the
header_checks file supplied with postfix 2.1 suggests to run it. In addition
hash and other types i'm similar confused. Has this changed from 2.0 to 2.1?
Thanks.
Dave.
