Definition

Current status of the mail user. Can be one of the following values: active, inactive, deleted, hold, overquota, or removed.

A missing value implies status is active. An illegal value is treated as inactive.

Table 3–17 Mail User Status


Status Value	Description
`active`	Normal state. If `inetUserStatus` is also active, then mail is processed as per the values stored in other user attributes (such as `mailDeliveryOption`, `mailSieveRuleSource`, and so on). If not set to active, the status from `inetUserStatus` takes precedence. Other status attributes taken into consideration are `inetDomainStatus` and `mailDomainStatus`. If the combination of `inetDomainStatus` and `mailDomainStatus` permits mail delivery and access for the domain, the user state is determined from `inetUserStatus` and `mailUserStatus`.
`inactive`	The user’s mail account is inactive. A transient failure is returned to the sending MTA.
disabled	User's mail account is disabled. Messages sent to the user result in a permanent failure returned to the sending MTA with text specified by the `ERROR_TEST_DISABLED_USER` MTA option. If option is not set, the message "user disabled; cannot receive new mail" will be used.
`deleted`	The user’s mail account is marked to be deleted from the message store. A permanent failure is returned to the sending MTA and the user’s mail account is a candidate for cleanup by the `msuser purge` utility. User access to the mailbox is blocked. After `msuser purge` deletes the mail account from the message store, it sets the value of `mailUserStatus` to `removed`.
`removed`	Indicates that the resource (mailbox) associated with this entry has been removed. In addition, the user entry itself is marked to be deleted from the LDAP directory. A permanent failure is returned to the sending MTA. User access to the mailbox is blocked. This setting allows the Delegated Administrator `commadmin domain purge` command to delete the user entry from the LDAP directory.
`hold`	User’s mail is sent to the hold queue and access to the mailbox over IMAP, POP, and HTTP is disallowed. MTA and Message Access Servers on the store server must comply with this requirement. This setting overrides any other mailDeliveryOption settings.
`overquota`	The MTA will not deliver mail to a mailbox with this status.

There are four status attributes that mail services look at and which are evaluated in this order: inetDomainStatus, mailDomainStatus, inetUserStatus, and mailUserStatus. The rule is: the first of these attributes that is set to something other than active takes precedence over all the others.

Note –

LDAP_USER_STATUS is the MTA option that overrides the mailUserStatus attribute. The LDAP_USER_STATUS option does not affect the message store or Delegated Administrator commadmin utility, which only recognize and use the current value of mailUserStatus.
