Email Gateway Security supports adding extra headers to emails, to provide a user-defined notation for emails based on different processing properties of a specific email.
Additional headers can be configured separately for each security rule.
Actions and statuses with additional headers
Additional headers can be assigned to emails in case of the following actions or statuses, for each rule:
Action or status | Location | Description |
|---|---|---|
Allowed emails | SCAN / Allowed actions | These headers will be applied to emails that are allowed (i.e. have no threat detected, have no DLP violation, have no spam and phishing). |
Blocked emails | ADVANCED THREAT PREVENTION / Blocked actions | These headers will be applied to emails that are blocked due to threat detected or DLP violation. |
Blocked email notification | ADVANCED THREAT PREVENTION / Notify recipients if email is blocked | These headers will be applied to notification emails that notify about the original email being blocked due to threat detected or DLP violation. |
Sanitized emails | ZERO-DAY MALWARE PREVENTION | These headers will be applied to emails with disarmed and reconstructed contents (headers, body or attachments). |
Known phishing emails | ANTI-PHISHING / Known Phishing | These headers will be applied to emails that are known phishing (for details see Operating/Phishing and spam). |
Potential phishing emails | ANTI-PHISHING / Potential Phishing | These headers will be applied to emails that are potential phishing (for details see Operating/Phishing and spam). |
Phishing notification | ANTI-PHISHING / Notifications | These headers will be applied to notification emails that notify about the original email being quarantined as known or potential phishing. |
Known spam emails | ANTI-SPAM / Known Spam | These headers will be applied to emails that are known spam (for details see Operating/Phishing and spam). |
Potential spam emails | ANTI-SPAM / Potential Spam | These headers will be applied to emails that are potential spam (for details see Operating/Phishing and spam). |

Field variable support in header values
Field variables can now also be used in header values. This allows inserting of dynamic data, such as sender, recipient, email classifications etc. into custom X-headers. For a list of available field variables, see Available variables.
