Block distribution list from receiving mail zimbra

To block a distribution list from receiving mail in Zimbra, you can follow these steps:

Method 1: Using the Zimbra Web Interface

Log in to the Zimbra Web Interface as an administrator.
Click on the "Configure" button next to "Distribution Lists" in the left-hand menu.
Select the distribution list you want to block from receiving mail.
Click on the "Edit" button next to the distribution list.
Scroll down to the "Membership" section and click on the "Edit" button next to "Members".
Remove all members from the distribution list by clicking the "Remove" button next to each member.
Click "Save" to save the changes.

Method 2: Using the Zimbra Command Line Interface

Log in to the Zimbra server as the zimbra user.
Use the following command to remove all members from the distribution list:
```
zmprov dlmod <distribution_list_name>
```
Replace <distribution_list_name> with the actual name of the distribution list you want to block.
Use the following command to set the distribution list to not receive mail:
```
zmprov dlset <distribution_list_name> -m 0
```
This will set the distribution list to not receive mail.

Method 3: Using the Zimbra LDAP

Log in to the Zimbra LDAP server using a tool like ldapsearch or a GUI-based LDAP client.
Use the following LDAP filter to find the distribution list:
```
(&(objectClass=zimbraDistributionList)(name=<distribution_list_name>))
```
Replace <distribution_list_name> with the actual name of the distribution list you want to block.
Use the following LDAP command to remove all members from the distribution list:
```
ldapmodify -H ldap://localhost -D "cn=zimbra" -w "zimbra_password" <<EOF
dn: cn=<distribution_list_name>,cn=distributionlists,cn=zimbra
changetype: modify
delete: member
EOF
```
Replace <distribution_list_name> with the actual name of the distribution list you want to block.

Use the following LDAP command to set the distribution list to not receive mail:

ldapmodify -H ldap://localhost -D "cn=zimbra" -w "zimbra_password" <<EOF
dn: cn=<distribution_list_name>,cn=distributionlists,cn=zimbra
changetype: modify
add: zimbraDistributionListEnabled
zimbraDistributionListEnabled: FALSE
EOF

This will set the distribution list to not receive mail.

Note: Make sure to replace <distribution_list_name> with the actual name of the distribution list you want to block, and zimbra_password with the actual password for the zimbra user.
