The FortiGate unit downloads the banned word list to a text file on the management
computer. You can specify a location to which to download the text file as well as a
name for the text file.
Uploading the email banned word list
You can create or edit a banned word list in a text file and upload it from your
management computer to the FortiGate unit.
Each banned word or phrase must appear on a separate line in the text file. Use
ASCII, Western, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Japanese, or Korean
characters. Your computer and web browser must be configured to enter characters in
the character set that you use.
All words are enabled by default. Optionally, you can enter a space and a 1 after the
word to enable it, and another space and a number to indicate the language.
If you do not add this information to all items in the text file, the FortiGate unit
automatically enables all banned words and phrases that are followed with a 1 or no
number in the Western language when you upload the text file.
