   Source	Select where the URL category is defined, either: Local — On the FortiMail unit. Remote — In a threat feed on an external server. Also configure Threat feed.
   Threat feed	Select the threat feed. See also Configuring a threat feed.
   Comment	Optional. Enter a description or comment.

4. Click Create.
