Description
This article describes the feature of spam outbreak protection.

Solution
When an antispam attack starts and cannot be identified on the FortiGuard database, there is a protection for that stage.

The protection must be enable on an antispam profile.
Once enabled the suspicious messages are temporarily on hold for a certain period of time which is configurable.
FortiGuard has enough time to update its database in order to detect the attack and contain it.

Use this following command during that time:
#config system fortiguard antispam
    set out-break-protection-period
The time by default is 30 minutes.

In order to check the email on hold go to Monitor -> Mail queue -> FortiGuard Outbreak Protection.
