The manual does NOT say that you create a table with

        postmap outputfile < inputfile.

> it says there no "/tmp/test.map"

Please look at the postmap manual page. Do pay attention to the
SYNOPSIS, and then choose the command options that are needed to
create a table.

The text about the Sendmail's "makemap" describes how the format
of Postfix tables corresponds with Sendmail lookup tables.

But you are not using Sendmail, so you don't have to worry about
Sendmail's "makemap" command syntax.

The cidr_table manual page says that you use postmap to QUERY a
cidr table.

The cidr_table manual page does NOT say that you use postmap to
CREATE a cidr table.
