Enter an action for the profile.

none

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

Type the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address of the alternate relay or SMTP server.

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

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}.

For more information about archive accounts, see archive policy.

Note: The Spam outbreak protection option under System > FortiGuard > AntiSpam does not affect this feature.

disable

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

none: No change.

prefix: Enter to prepend the part with new text. Also configure rewrite-rcpt-local-value <value_str>.

suffix: Enter to append the part with new text. Also configure rewrite-rcpt-local-value <value_str>.
