No, the "Stopped as Invalid Recipients" represents messages dropped by your LDAP Accept Query process.
By setting up LDAP recipient validation, the Ironport is freeing up resources on your mailserver and performing the recipient on the Ironport appliance.
For example, say a message arrives on the Ironport appliance and is addressed to:
recipient email address: blahblahblah@yourdomain.com
The Ironport ldap process will take the recipient email and ask your LDAP Server/domain controller/active directory if this is a valid user in your domain:
If it's valid, the system will process the email like normal.
If it's invalid, depending upon your Accept query setting, it will either drop or bounce that individual message. You can see this setting by going to "Network > Listeners". Select your incoming or inbound listener and go to the LDAP queries section at the bottom.
Hi,
I was just looking at my Incoming Mail Summary and was wondering what "Stopped as Invalid Recipients" means. Are these mails dropped by my filters in the CLI?
Thanks.
