Ldap user mail 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 the user&#x27;s status for mail purposes. (Contrast with the  MTA option which names an LDAP attribute, by default , used to store the user&#x27;s general status for services in addition to mail.  And consider also the   MTA option which names an analogous domain LDAP attribute.)

For the LDAP attribute named by, valid values are  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,    (new in MS 6.0),   (new in MS 6.3),   (new in MS 6.3),   (new in 7.3-11.01), and   (new in 8.0.1.3/8.0.2.1).

A status of  is equivalent to   from the MTA&#x27;s point of view; it exists as a distinct status for the benefit of the commcli user purging operation.

The statuses  and   tell the MTA to accept all messages to the user but defer them to the reprocess channel for later delivery (re)attempts; or in the case of   accept and defer to the reprocess channel those messages coming in a   channel while giving   behavior, hence normally temporary errors, for attempted submissions on any other channels.

A status of  is treated by the MTA as active   for purposes of message delivery but which other components will treat as   (giving the effect that messages can be delivered, but the user can not login); any other value is treated as.

(Note that the    channel option, if used, modifies the timing and form of recipient rejections due to errors such as " " or " " status. New in MS 8.0.1.1.0, the    channel option, if used, modifies the timing and form of recipient deferrals due to temporary errors such as " " status. Note also that  the   and   MTA options, and   and   channel options, can alter the interpretation of whether such status errors are considered temporary vs. permanent errors.)
