Configuring the antispam banned word list
Words can be marked as spam or clear. Banned words can be one word or a
phrase up to 127 characters long.
For a single word, the FortiGate unit blocks all email containing the word. For a
phrase, the FortiGate unit blocks all email containing the exact phrase. To block
any word in a phrase, use Perl regular expressions.
To add or edit a banned word, go to AntiSpam > Banned Word.
