Ldap user status MTA option

Direct LDAP attribute name MTA options:  (LDAP attribute name)
The  MTA option specifies the name of a user LDAP attribute, by default , used to store user general status. (Contrast with the  MTA option which names an LDAP attribute, by default , used to store specifically a user&#x27;s mail status. Also consider the analogous domain LDAP attribute, by default  , named by the    MTA option.)

Prior to Messaging Server 7.0, the supported values for the LDAP attribute named by the  MTA option, by default , were a strict subset of the  supported   values, and in particular the only  supported values were  ,  , or. As of Messaging Server 7.0, for the convenience of sites that may wish to "switch" the use (in effect switch the priority order in which checking occurs) of  and , the  full set of values supported for   are also supported for. This is not intended to encourage general, direct use of such additional values for , but rather, as mentioned, is intended so that the priority (order of checking) of these two status settings for users can be reordered by setting them "switched": msconfig&#x3e; set ldap_user_status mailUserStatus msconfig# set ldap_user_mail_status inetUserStatus or in legacy configuration mode: ldap_user_status=mailUserStatus ldap_user_mail_status=inetUserStatus
