Group dn template MTA option

Direct LDAP attribute interpretation MTA options:  (URL template)
The  MTA  option affects the interpretation of the   attribute (more specifically, the interpretation of the attribute named by the   and as of 7.0.5, the , MTA options). As of 7.4-18.01, the default is: ldap:///$A??sub?(mail=&#x2a;) The default (as of MS 6.3, but prior to 7.4-18.01) was: ldap:///$A??sub?mail=&#x2a; And prior to MS 6.3, the default had been: ldap:///$A?mail?sub?mail=&#x2a; Note that these earlier defaults prior to Messaging Server 7.4-18.01 were actually in error (violated LDAP search filter syntax), as they omitted the enclosing parentheses that ought to be present on the filter.

The change in the default for MS 6.3 (of no longer specifically requesting only the  attribute to be returned) was to  allow taking advantage, even in the case of an    attribute set to a DN, of an enhancement (also implemented in MS 6.3) whereby list expansion in  the context of the   LDAP attribute  now includes all the attributes used to store email addresses (normally ,  , and  ), thereby allowing recognition of allowed broadcaster aliases. (Previously only   attributes were returned, making it impossible to send to lists  restricted to their own members using alternate addresses (aliases).)
