Spooftempfail Option

Introduced in release: 7 Update 4 patch 26

If the  POP Proxy option is set to    (default is 0) and a temporary authentication error occurs subsequent to locating the user in LDAP, the MMP will simply return an empty mailbox listing or if    is   and   is set,  then the spoof message file will be used. We have received reports that this will cause certain clients (including Microsoft Outlook) to re-download the mailbox when the temporary condition is resolved.

A temporary authentication error can occur as a result of  (or as of Messaging Server 7.5  ) or   mail user status   or as a result of   mail domain status   prior to connecting to the back-end POP server, and can also occur if the back-end server returns a   authentication failure. In the former case, the MMP&#x27;s LDAP cache settings apply.

The default value is: 0
