Configuring profiles

Configuring profiles

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

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

GUI item

Description

Profile name

Enter a name for the action profile.

Replace attachment with message

Select to replace the email attachment that triggers a scanner (such as the content and antivirus attachment filters) with a custom message. For more information about custom replacement message, see Configuring custom messages.

Notify with profile

Select to send out notifications to the recipients specified in the notification profile. For more information about notification profiles, see Configuring notification profiles.

Action

Specify one of the following final actions:

  • None: No action will be taken.
  • Discard: Delete the email message from the user’s inbox on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.
  • Personal quarantine: Move the email message from the user’s inbox to the junk folder on Microsoft 365, or to the spam folder on Google Workspace.
  • System quarantine: Move the email message to FortiMail system quarantine. If desired, the user needs to contact the FortiMail system administrator to release the quarantined email.
  • Move to folder: Move the email message from the user’s inbox to a specified folder on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.
