Current status of a mail group.
The following table lists the possible status values and gives a description of each:
|
active |
Messages are delivered to the members of the mailing list. |
|
inactive |
Messages sent to the mailing list result in a transient failure. |
|
disabled |
Mailing list is disabled. Messages sent to the mailing list result in a permanent failure returned to the sending MTA with text specified by the ERROR_TEXT_DISABLED_GROUP MTA option. If option is not set, the message "group disabled; cannot receive new mail" will be used. |
|
deleted |
Mailing list can be purged from the directory. Messages sent to the group return a permanent failure. |
A missing value implies status is active. An illegal value is treated as inactive.
There are four status attributes that interact with each other: inetDomainStatus, mailDomainStatus, inetGroupStatus, and inetMailGroupStatus. These are considered in the order just given. The first one with a status of active takes precedence over the setting of all the others.
The MTA option LDAP_GROUP_STATUS can be used to specify a different attribute to be used for group status.
