Variable

Description

Default

<profile_name>

Enter the name of an antispam action profile.

action {discard | none | quarantine-review | reject | repackage | repackage-with-cmsg | replace-infected | rewrite‑rcpt}

Enter an action for the profile.

discard: Enter to accept the email, but then delete it instead of delivering the email, without notifying the SMTP client.

none: Apply any configured header or subject line tags, if any.

quarantine-review: Enter to redirect spam to the system quarantine. For more information, see the FortiMail Administration Guide.

reject: Enter to reject the email and reply to the SMTP client with SMTP reply code 550.

repackage: Forward the infected email as an attachment but the original email body will still be used without modification.

repackage-with-cmsg: Forward the infected email as an attachment with the customized email body that you define in the custom email template. For example, in the template, you may want to say “The attached email is infected by a virus”.

replace-infected: Replaces the infected file with a replacement message that notifies the email user the infected file was removed. You can customize replacement messages.

rewrite-rcpt: Enter to change the recipient address of any email message detected as spam. Configure rewrites separately for the local-part (the portion of the email address before the '@' symbol, typically a user name) and the domain part (the portion of the email address after the '@' symbol).
If you enter this option, also configure rewrite-rcpt-local-type {none | prefix | replace | suffix}, rewrite-rcpt-local-value <value_str>, rewrite-rcpt-domain-type {none-prefix | replace | suffix}, and rewrite-rcpt-domain-value <value_str>.

none

alternate-host {<relay_fqdn> | <relay_ipv4>}

This field applies only if alternate-host-status is enable.

No default.

alternate-host-status {enable | disable}

Enable to route the email to a specific SMTP server or relay. Also configure alternate-host {<relay_fqdn> | <relay_ipv4>}.

Note: If you enable this setting, for all email that matches the profile, the FortiMail unit will use this destination and ignore mailsetting relay-host-list and the protected domain’s tp-use-domain-mta {yes | no}.

disable

archive-account

Enter the archive account.

archive-status

Enable or disable message archiving.

disable

bcc-addr <recipient_email>

Type the BCC recipient email address.

This field applies only if bcc-status is enable.

header-insertion-name <name_str>

Enter the message header key. The FortiMail unit will add this text to the message header of the email 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 various parts of email messages, including the message header. For details, see the documentation for your email client.

Message header lines are composed of two parts: a key and a value, which are separated by a colon. For example, you might enter:

X-Custom-Header: Detected as spam by profile 22.

If you enter a header line that does not include a colon, the FortiMail unit will automatically append a colon, causing the entire text that you enter to be the key.

Note: Do not enter spaces in the key portion of the header line, as these are forbidden by RFC 2822.

See header-insertion-value <header_str>.

header-insertion-status {enable | disable}

Enable to add a message header to detected spam.

See header-insertion-value <header_str>.

disable

header-insertion-value <header_str>
