fic for viruses and spam messages as it passes through the FortiMail unit.
You can configure your firewall or DNS server to ensure that incoming SMTP traffic goes
through the FortiMail unit before reaching the email server. Optionally, you can configure the
email server to use the FortiMail unit as the relay server for outgoing SMTP traffic.
The FortiMail unit provides seamless integration into existing networks. You can place the
FortiMail unit in front of the existing email server without any configuration changes to the
existing network topology, for filtering email messages. This means that all of the FortiMail
interfaces are on the same IP subnet and appears to other devices as a bridge. Alternatively,
you can configure the FortiMail unit as a combination of a bridge and a router by assigning
IP addresses to some of its interfaces. In this situation, the interfaces can be on different
subnets.
The FortiMail unit integrates into your existing network with only minor changes to your
network configuration.
Server mode
In Server mode, the FortiMail unit provides basic email server functionality, supporting
WebMail, SMTP, POP3 and IMAP email protocols. In addition, the FortiMail Server provides
antivirus, antispam, email archiving, logging and reporting services.
