Problem
Antispam scans are bypassed, but antivirus scans are not.
Solution
If antivirus scans occur, but antispam scans do not, verify that safe lists are not too permissive and that you have not safelisted senders in the protected domains. Safelist entries cause the FortiMail unit to omit antispam scans.
Additionally, verify that either the Bypass scan on SMTP authentication option is disabled, or confirm that authenticated SMTP clients have not been compromised and are not a source of spam.
