I'm running Postfix and have it configured to send 450 errors if the IP address of a mail server fails reverse lookup as described at http://www.muine.org/~hoang/postfix.html. As part of this config, I have a "override" file that is checked first. When I initially created the file, I sorted my entries based upon reported domain names. I have now decided that I would prefer to have the entries listed in IP address order. Although I could fix the file manually, I know there are tools in the OS that will do this for me and I'd like to learn how to use them. I am guessing that a command line using cat, sort, and sed or awk is what I need but I haven't been able to figure this out. Below is the first part of my file. Please look at the last entry I included because it has two IP addresses for the same domain comment and I would really like to keep entries like this intact. Any suggestions and examples for building the command will be appreciated. Thanks, Drew blacklamb# cat client_access # Add unknown client addresses that we'll accept mail from.
