Bad net/mask pattern

[Norton Allen]

I am definitely prone to making stupid mistakes today, but this has me
baffled:

warning: bad net/mask pattern: "64.235.144.00/20"

This is in mynetworks. Is this perhaps an issue with an older version of
postfix that limits trailing bit count to higher values, or does the
stated block cross over an implicit subnet boundary or something?

One must always announce their failings before they can see them.

Postfix did not like the '00' for the 4th octet.

The address was rejected by the inet_pton() system library function.
I have made the warning more specific.

Example:

warning: cidr map /tmp/x.cidr, line 1: bad network value in "1.2.3.00/28": skipping this rule

Thanks, that should help. The real trick in the heat of the moment is to
calm down and read the errors carefully.
