Postfix - How are parameters that accept multiple lookup tables as values handled?


Can anyone explain how Postfix handles parameters with multiple values? In particular parameters that allow specifying multiple database/lookup table files.

Example:

Code:
sender_canonical_maps = 

    # Combined list of email addresses to NOT rewrite
    hash:/etc/postfix/pfix-no-srs.cf, 

    # SRS encoding daemon for main domain
    tcp:127.0.0.1:10001,
I was trying to make sense of how to approach SRS for multiple domains (where each domain uses a separate instance of the pfix-srsd daemon) when I realized I didn't have a solid understanding of Postfix parameters.

I've been reading all of the basic man pages where they explain parameter formats (whitespace, commas, using other parameters as values, etc), but I haven't found anything that explicitly describes how multiple parameter values are handled when specifying more than one lookup table.

Is it a short-circuit approach where as soon as a value is returned no further lookup tables are queried, or are all tables concatenated before searching?

Thanks for your help.
