Hello again AEK :)

I found this solution with a GPT engine, can you tell me if it helps, please?

In FortiMail, the standard operation for antispam and other security features typically does not involve sending the entire email body to FortiGuard for scanning. Instead, FortiMail focuses on analyzing metadata, such as embedded links, source IP addresses, and email hashes, to determine the legitimacy of the email.

While FortiMail does use cloud-based services for scanning certain attachments through sandboxing, sending the complete email body for scanning is not a standard feature due to privacy and security considerations. The system is designed to maintain user confidentiality while still providing effective spam and threat detection.

If you're looking for specific configurations or advanced features, it's always a good idea to consult the official FortiMail documentation or reach out to Fortinet support for detailed guidance tailored to your deployment. If you have further questions about FortiMail configurations or features, feel free to ask!

Why do you want to send the email in first place to Fortguard is the question?

Usually files are send to FortiSandbox on-prem/cloud and FortiNDR as well. 

The mail text scanning is done on-prem with DLP , Content profile and SPAM that still could pull Threat intelligence from FortiGuard.  

Other than that the urls in the message could be subject to check with fortigard database:
