GUI item | Description | |
AntiSpam Actions | ||
Tag email’s subject line | Enable and then enter in the With value field the text that will appear in the subject line of the email, such as “[spam]”. The FortiMail unit will prepend this text to the subject line of spam before forwarding it to the recipient. Many email clients can sort incoming email messages into separate mailboxes, including a spam mailbox, based on text appearing in parts of email messages, including the subject line. For details, see the documentation for your email client. | |
Reject | Enable to reject the email and reply to the SMTP client with SMTP reply code 550. | |
Discard | Enable to delete the message (instead of delivering the email) without notifying the SMTP client | |
Personal Quarantine | When enabled, FortiMail directs spam to the per-recipient quarantine folder. Also configure: • Delete messages after: Enter the number of days you want to keep the quarantined email. Enter a small enough value that will prevent the size of the quarantine from exceeding the available disk space. If you enter 0 to prevent automatic deletion of quarantined files, you must periodically manually remove old files. This option and Quarantine for review are mutually exclusive. | |
System quarantine | When enabled, FortiMail directs spam to the system quarantine folder. Note: Both quarantine options cannot be enabled at the same time. | |
AntiVirus Actions | ||
Virus scanning | Scan email for virus infection and take actions defined in “Configuring antivirus action profiles”. | |
