CLI Reference

mailsetting quarantine-rescan-option

mailsetting quarantine-rescan-option

Use this command to configure re-scanning when email is released from a quarantine.

Before email is released from a quarantine, FortiMail can re-scan it. This can be useful after configuration or antivirus package updates, or if the email was quarantined by another scan and has not yet received later scans. See also the sequential order of antispam scans on FortiMail.

Syntax

config mailsetting quarantine-rescan-options

set type {antivirus fortisandbox}

set source {personal-quarantine system-quarantine}

end

Variable

Description

Default

type {antivirus fortisandbox}

Select which scans to use when re-scanning:

  • Antivirus

  • FortiSandbox

  • Antispam

  • Content

  • Data leak prevention

source {personal-quarantine system-quarantine}

Select whether to rescan mail from either the personal quarantine and/or the system (and, if enabled, domain) quarantine.

Tooltip

For the system quarantine's Virus folder, email will not be rescanned when released. Otherwise, since the virus still exists, you would never be able to release the email, which would prevent administrators from submitting samples to FortiGuard labs or your internal SecOps teams.

For other quarantine folders, email will be rescanned when released for the first time. If an email is quarantined again, and you still want to release it, later rescans are skipped.
