Ldap start date MTA option

Direct LDAP attribute name MTA options:  (LDAP attribute name)
The  MTA option specifies the name of a user (or group) LDAP attribute, by default , used to specify the start of the date/time range for which to apply  autoreply (vacation) processing. (The MTA in principle allows this attribute on group/mailing list entries as well as on user entries,  but the typical configuration of the   MTA option disables interpreting the attribute&#x27;s value in the case of groups.   Futhermore, the Sun schema does not, as distributed, allow this attribute on group/mailing list entries. See the   MTA option for some discussion regarding enabling use of this attribute on group/mailing list entries.)

The value stored in the named attribute should have the format, which note is in the GMT timezone. An autoreply will only be generated if the current time is after the time specified by this attribute and inclusive limit processing is in effect, or before the specified limit if exclusive time limit processing is in effect. No start date limit is enforced if this attribute is missing.

The schema sets an ACI on the default attribute,, to allow user modification.
