Description

This article describes how to disable the attachment filter for the specific senders in FortiMail.

Scope

v7.0.

Solution

1) As instructed in the admin guide below: 'configuring the block lists and safe lists displays the sequence in which the FortiMail unit evaluates email for matches with block list and safe list entries. If the FortiMail unit finds a match, it does not look for any additional matches, and cancels any remaining antispam scans of the message' (but not the antivirus and content scans).

2) Consider following the steps below to disable/bypass the attachment filter for specific senders.


- Create a new Content profile and disable the attachment filter.

 

- Create a new inbound recipient policy for the specific sender that wanted to disable the attachment filter.


- Apply the new content profile created in Step A to the new inbound recipient policy in Step B.


- Make sure to put this new rule on top of the existing inbound recipient policies because FortiMail will check the policies from top to bottom.


- If the new policy is only configured for specific senders so only the matching senders will match the new policy and the other senders will use the other existing policies with the existing content profiles for the attachment filter.
