Score Enter a score for the pattern.
Each entry in the banned word list added to the protection profile incudes a
score. When an email message is matched with an entry in the banned word
list, the score is recorded. If an email message matches more than one entry,
the score for the email message increases. When the total score for an email
message equals or exceeds the threshold, the message is tagged as spam.
The default score for a banned word list entry is 10 and the default threshold is
10. This means that by default an email message is tagged as spam by a
single match. You can change the scores and threshold so email messages
are only tagged as spam if there are multiple matches.

Enable Select to enable scanning for the banned word.
4 Select OK.
You can add IP address black/white lists and an email address black/white lists to filter
email. When performing an IP address list check, the FortiGate unit compares the IP
address of the message sender to the IP address list in sequence. When performing an
email list check, the FortiGate unit compares the email address of the message sender to
the email address list in sequence. If a match is found, the action associated with the IP
address or email address is taken. If no match is found, the message is passed to the next
enabled spam filter.
You can add a maximum of two IP address lists and then select the best one for each
protection profile. To view the IP address list catalog, go to UTM > Email Filter >
IP Address. To view any individual IP address list, select the Edit icon for the list you want
to see.
