Description

 

This article describes how to configure FortiMail to take the AS profile action, overriding the DMARC record policy.

 

Scope

 

FortiMail v7.x.

 

Solution

 

In FortiMail v7.2, FortiMail offers three different options regarding which action to take after a failed DMARC check.

 

Set a DMARC failure action:

 

  • use-policy-action: Respect all actions specified in the DMARC record.
  • use-profile-action: Use the action specified in the antispam profile.
  • use-profile-action-with-none: Respect p=none sender policy in the DMARC record, and use the antispam profile action otherwise.

 

By default, FortiMail will use the setting 'use-profile-action-with-none'.

 

To always take the action configured in the AntiSpam profile, the following commands can be used:

 

config antispam settings

    set dmarc-failure-action use-profile-action

end

 

In versions 7.4.x and later, it is configured in the GUI under Security -> Options -> Preference.
