Revision 2
FortiMail units operating in server mode provide a web-based user interface from which
email users can access not only personal preferences and email quarantined to their per-
recipient quarantine, but also their locally host mailboxes such as each email user’s inbox.
In addition, email users can retrieve email using POP3 or IMAP.
Server mode requires some changes to an existing network. Requirements include MX
records on public DNS servers for each protected domain, which must refer to the
FortiMail unit. You may also need to configure firewalls or routers to direct SMTP traffic to
the FortiMail unit.
Figure 26: Example server mode topology
For example, a company might be creating a network, and does not have an existing
email server. The company wants the convenience of managing both their email server
and email security on one network device. Therefore, the company deploys the FortiMail
unit in server mode.
For sample deployment scenarios, see the chapter
.
Configuring the operation mode
By default, FortiMail units operate in gateway mode. If you do not want your FortiMail unit
