Scope FortiGate.
Solution This behavior occurs because FortiGuard Spam Filtering features are only available when the email profile is changed to proxy-based. By default, the email profile is set to flow-based.

config emailfilter profile

edit "test"

set feature-set proxy

end

 

Changes for proxy mode in low-end devices:
