Ldap delivery option 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 delivery choices of the user or group. See the  MTA option for discussion of the MTA&#x27;s interpretation of the values stored in this named attribute. In particular, note that the MTA (with normal  configuration) interprets absence of this attribute on a user entry as meaning to perform delivery to the user mailbox, and interprets absence of this attribute on a group entry as meaning to perform delivery to the group members. (This provides sensible and useful behavior for user or group entries lacking any explicit  value.  However, note that this behavior also has implications when updating a user or group entry: in particular, if deleting the one and only     setting from a user or group, consider what delivery behavior you may wish to explicitly set in its place, as in the absence of any explicit setting you will get normal delivery; explicitly setting a value of , or setting the user status or  group status to a value such as   or   can be done if you truly desire no delivery effect.)

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