Action | Description | |
Log | Add a log entry indicating that a message flood has occurred. You must also enable logging for MMS Scanning > Bulk Messages in the Logging section of the MMS protection profile. | |
DLP Archive | Save the first message to exceed the flood threshold, or all the messages that exceed the flood threshold, in the DLP archive. DLP archiving flood messages may not always produce useful results. Since different messages can be causing the flood, reviewing the archived messages may not be a good indication of what is causing the problem since the messages could be completely random. | |
All messages | All the messages that exceed the flood threshold will be saved in the DLP archive. | |
First message only | Save only the first message to exceed the flood threshold in the DLP archive. Other messages in the flood are not saved. For message floods this may not produce much useful information since a legitimate message could trigger the flood threshold. | |
Intercept | Messages that exceed the flood threshold are passed to the recipients, but if quarantine is enabled for intercepted messages, a copy of each message will also quarantined for later examination. If the quarantine of intercepted messages is disabled, the Intercept action has no effect. | |
Block | Messages that exceed the flood threshold are blocked and will not be delivered to the message recipients. If quarantine is enabled for blocked messages, a copy of each message will quarantined for later examination. | |
Alert Notification | If the flood threshold is exceeded, the Carrier-enabled FortiGate unit will send an MMS flood notification message. In the web-based manager when Alert Notification is selected it displays the fields to configure the notification. |
