FortiMail Threat mitigation steps.

[Saqib_Zafar]

Hello Everyone, I am concerned about how actually fortimail works means how using what deep inside architecture methods or steps a fortimail looks for a Spam or virus. I am well known about how it will capture a spam using Fortiguard options but i if a threat or virus comes in an e-mail how will fortimail recognise that it is a virus or something like that??? I know it will use some heuristic feature and Forged IP and baeysian filtering and so on but what is the basic architecture of a fortimail packet capturing. I have to present Fortimail in comparison with other products so rather than defining features i would like to know the key to how a fortimail scans a packet using what algorithms and methods. Because these features are in Mcafee, Proof Point and so on but tell me some points about how good Fortimail scans using what algo against other products. I will be thankfull to all of you who will answer me.
