Both FortiGuard-Antispam Service processes are completely automated and
configured by Fortinet. With constant monitoring and dynamic updates, FortiGuard-
Antispam Service is always current. You can enable or disable FortiGuard-Antispam
Service in a firewall protection profile. See
“Configuring spam filtering options” on
page 242
.
FortiGuard-Antispam Service Service Points
FortiGuard-Antispam Service Service Points provide worldwide coverage. By default,
the FortiGate unit communicates with the closest Service Point. If the Service Point
becomes unreachable for any reason, the FortiGate unit contacts another Service
Point and rating information is available within seconds. FortiGuard-Antispam Service
Service Points are highly scalable and new Service Points are added as required. The
FortiGate unit communicates with the Service Point over UDP on port 8889. You can
change the FortiGuard-Antispam Service hostname if required, using the CLI. See
“FortiGuard-Antispam Service CLI configuration” on page 349
.
FortiGuard-Antispam Service licensing
Every FortiGate unit comes with a free 30-day FortiGuard-Antispam Service trial
license. FortiGuard-Antispam Service license management is done by Fortinet
servers, so there is no need to enter a license number. The FortiGate unit
automatically contacts a FortiGuard-Antispam Service Service Point when you enable
FortiGuard-Antispam Service.
When you want to renew your FortiGuard-Antispam Service license after the free trial,
contact Fortinet Technical Support.
FortiGuard-Antispam Service configuration
Once selected, FortiGuard-Antispam Service is enabled globally. After enabling
FortiGuard-Antispam Service you can enable FortiGuard-Antispam Service IP
address checking and URL checking in each firewall protection profile.
Use the procedure
“Configuring spam filtering options” on page 242
to configure
FortiGuard-Antispam Service in a protection profile.
FortiGuard-Antispam Service options
If you have ordered FortiGuard-Antispam Service through Fortinet technical support
or are using the free 30-day trial, you only need to enable the service to start
configuring and using FortiGuard-Antispam Service.
