Explanation

Directory Harvest Attack (DHA) Prevention on the Cisco Secure Email Gateway is configured within the Mail Flow Policy, not in the LDAP Server profile or Listener Settings. In the mail flow policy, administrators can set a maximum number of invalid recipients per hour; when exceeded, the connection is dropped, preventing attackers from enumerating valid addresses. Option A is incorrect because DHAP is not automatically enabled when LDAP queries are configured. Option B is incorrect because DHAP settings are not found in the LDAP Server profile itself. Option D is incorrect because modifying LDAP queries in Listener Settings does not configure DHAP; the Work Queue is a separate processing stage.
