2. In the All Managed Clients list, select the FortiClient agent you want to configure from the Host Name column.
3. From the FortiClient menu, select AntiVirus > Option > Email Scan.
4. Configure the following settings:
Override
The FortiClient agent’s configuration includes those inherited from the group to which the computer belongs.
Selecting override allows you to modify the inherited email scan configuration on this FortiClient agent. Deselecting override means that you want to use the email scan configuration inherited from the group to which the computer belongs.
