Viewing the antispam banned word list
The FortiGate unit checks each email message against the antispam banned word list.
The FortiGate unit can sort email messages containing those banned words in the subject,
body, or both. The score value of each banned word appearing in the message is added,
and if the total is greater than the threshold value set in the protection profile, the
FortiGate unit processes the message according to the Spam Action setting in the
protection profile. The score for a pattern is applied only once even if the word appears in
the message multiple times.
To view the banned word list, go to UTM > AntiSpam > Banned Word and select the Edit
icon of the banned word list you want to view.
