Configuring profiles

Before you can scan the email on Microsoft 365, you must configure the antivirus, antispam, content, DLP, and action profiles to use.

The antivirus, antispam, content, and DLP profile configurations are almost identical to the regular profile configurations, except for some settings that do not apply to this situation. For details about these profiles, see the following sections:

Configuring action profiles

When you scan email on Microsoft 365, you can apply action profiles towards the infected email. Note that since you are applying actions on Microsoft 365, the action definitions are different from the actions performed on FortiMail itself.

To configure an action profile
  1. Go to View > Microsoft 365 View.
  2. Go to Profile > Action > Action.
  3. Click New and configure the following:
