Outbreak protection in fortimail

 Spam Outbreak Protection

--> If spam outbreak protection is enabled in an antispam profile, FortiMail will temporarily hold suspicious email for a certain period of time if the enabled FortiGuard antispam check (block IP and/or URI filter) returns no result.

--> After the specified time interval, FortiMail will query the FortiGuard server for the second time.

-->This provides an opportunity for the FortiGuard antispam service to update its database in cases a spam outbreak occurs.
