Description |
Action Profile |
When you configure action profiles (see Configuring antispam action profiles, Configuring antivirus action profiles, and Configuring content action profiles), you may use the following actions:
For the delivery and quarantine actions, you can choose to deliver or quarantine the original email or the modified email.
For example, when the HTML content is converted to text, if you choose to deliver the unmodified copy, the HTML version will be delivered; if you choose to deliver the modified copy, the plain text version will be delivered. For the disclaimer insertion action, you can choose to insert the disclaimer in the selected messages or all messages. For the subject tagging action, you can choose to insert the tag at the beginning or the end of the subject. |
Enforce delivery action if 'delivery to original/alternate host' is enabled |
If the action in one profile is one of the final actions, such as System quarantine, while the action in another profile is to deliver to the original host or alternate host, you can enable this option to overwrite the final action. |
Execute attachment scan on spam email under personal quarantine |
For spam email that is sent to personal quarantine, you have the option to continue or stop further scanning the email attachments. |
Mail Scan |
Specify the following:
|
AntiSpam |
|
DMARC failure action |
Select either:
The default setting is Action profile with none. This system-wide setting can be overridden by a per-domain setting. For details, see the FortiMail CLI Reference. |
Impersonation analysis |
Email impersonation is one of the email spoofing attacks. It forges the email header to deceive the recipient because the message appears to be from a different source than the actual address. To fight against email impersonation, you can map display names with email addresses and check email for the mapping. You can choose whether the impersonation analysis uses manual mapping entries or dynamic entries. You can also use both types of entries.
The default setting is Manual. |
QR code URL scan |
Select which location(s) to scan for QR code images that contain known spam URLs.
