Ldap autoreply timeout MTA option

Direct LDAP attribute name MTA options:  (LDAP attribute name)
The  MTA option specifies the name of the user (or group) LDAP attribute which will store the duration (the "timeout") between successive vacation/autoreply responses to any given sender. (The MTA in principle allows this attribute on group/mailing list entries as well as on user entries,  but the typical configuration of the   MTA option disables this support in the case of groups.  Futhermore, the Sun schema does not, as distributed, allow this attribute on group/mailing list entries. See the   MTA option for some discussion regarding enabling use of this attribute on group/mailing list entries.)

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

The value in the attribute named by  should be represented in units of hours. If the attribute&#x27;s value is, then a response is sent back every time a message is received. The attribute&#x27;s value will be converted to the nonstandard  argument to the    action. (Note that the standard Sieve action is defined to only support the    argument for this purpose and doesn&#x27;t allow a value of  ; so this support for shorter intervals between responses is an extension in the MTA&#x27;s Sieve support.)

If the attribute named by  is not present in a user entry, then a default timeout will be obtained from the user&#x27;s domain (from the attribute named by the   MTA option) if the domain has its own timeout, or otherwise from the   MTA option.
