DISABLE STATUS

TCP/IP-channel-specific options: DISABLE_STATUS (0 or 1)
The MTA&#x27;s SMTP server implements a private command XSTA. This command returns status information about the number of messages processed and  currently in the MTA channel queues, status information about current  associations (TCP/IP connections), and status information about LDAP  lookup caching. Releasing such information may constitute a breach of security for some sites. Settting the SMTP server option    to 1 disables the XSTA command, so that the SMTP server responds with 550 5.7.0 XSTA command has been disabled. The default is 0, which enables the XSTA command. In 8.0, the default has changed to 1, disabling the XSTA command.

SMTP server probes of the PORT_ACCESS mapping table can enable use of XSTA  (overriding a more general   setting) for connections  from particular source IPs (e.g., the host itself, 127.0.0.1,  and particular administrator systems) via the (new in Messaging Server 7.0)    flag.
