How file size limits work

See

“How file size limits work” on page 301

.

Example

This example shows how to set the maximum file size that can be buffered to memory
for scanning at 25 MB, the maximum uncompressed file size that can be buffered to
memory for scanning at 50 MB, and how to enable antivirus scanning on ports 143
and 993 for IMAP traffic.

config antivirus service http

set memfilesizelimit 25
set uncompsizelimit 50
set port 143
set port 993

end

This example shows how to display the antivirus IMAP traffic settings.

Description

Default

Availability

memfilesizelimi
t <MB_integer>

Set the maximum file size that can be buffered

to memory for virus scanning.
The maximum file size allowed is 10% of the

FortiGate RAM size. For example, a FortiGate

unit with 256 MB of RAM could have a

threshold range of 1 MB to 25 MB.
Note: For email scanning, the memfilesizelimit

refers to the final size of the email after

encoding by the email client, including

attachments. Email clients may use a variety

of encoding types and some encoding types

translate into larger file sizes than the original

attachment. The most common encoding,

base64, translates 3 bytes of binary data into

4 bytes of base64 data. So a file may be

blocked or logged as oversized even if the

attachment is several megabytes less than the

memfilesizelimit.

10 (MB)

All models.

port
<port_integer>

Configure antivirus scanning on a

nonstandard port number or multiple port

numbers for IMAP. You can use ports from the

range 1-65535. You can add up to 20 ports.

143

All models.

uncompsizelimit
<MB_integer>

Set the maximum uncompressed file size that

can be buffered to memory for virus scanning.

Enter a value in megabytes between 1 and the

total memory size. Enter 0 for no limit (not

recommended).
