Adding a subject tag

When the FortiGate unit receives email from an unwanted address or email that contains an item in the email banned word list, the FortiGate unit adds a tag to the subject line and sends the message to the destination email address. Email users can use their mail client software to filter the messages based on the subject tag.

To add a subject tag

1Go to Email Filter > Config.

2Type the Subject Tag that you want to display in the subject line of email received from unwanted addresses or that contains banned words. For example, type Unwanted Mail.

Note: Do not use quotation marks in the subject tags.

3Select Apply.

The FortiGate unit adds the tag to the subject line of all unwanted email.
