Planning the Configuration
Gateway mode
In Gateway mode, the FortiMail unit protects your email server by scanning the SMTP traffic 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 integrates into your existing network with only minor changes to your network configuration.
Transparent mode
In Transparent mode, the FortiMail unit protects your email server by scanning the SMTP traf- fic for viruses and spam messages as it passes through the FortiMail unit.
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.
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.
