Gateway mode
In Gateway mode, the FortiMail unit protects your email server by scanning the SMTP trafc
for viruses and spam messages as it passes through the FortiMail unit.
You can congure your rewall or DNS server to ensure that incoming SMTP trafc goes through the FortiMail unit before reaching the email server. Optionally, you can congure the email server to use the FortiMail unit as the relay server for outgoing SMTP trafc.
The FortiMail unit integrates into your existing network with only minor changes to your
network conguration.
Transparent mode
In Transparent mode, the FortiMail unit protects your email server by scanning the SMTP
trafc 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 conguration changes to the existing network topology, for ltering 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 congure 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.
FortiMail-4000

Place the FortiMail unit on a stable surface The FortiMail-4000 requires 1.5 inches (3.75 cm) clearance on each side to allow for cooling.
Alternatively, install the FortiMail-4000 in a 19-inch rack. The FortiMail-400 requires 2U of vertical space.
Make sure the power is not plugged into the wall before connecting the power cable to the FortiMail unit.
Once you connect the power cord to the FortiMail unit, plug the cord into the outlet.
Connect the FortiMail unit to a power outlet and to the network hub or switch.
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.
Connector Type Speed Protocol Description

Configuring the FortiMail Unit
Web-based Manager
Connect the FortiMail Port 1 interface to a management computer Ethernet interface. Use a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the devices directly. Use straight-through Ethernet cables to connect the devices through a hub or switch.
Congure the management computer to be on the same subnet as the internal interface
of the FortiMail unit. To do this, change the IP address of the management computer to
192.168.1.2 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0. To access the FortiMail web-based manager, start Internet Explorer and browse to https://192.168.1.99/admin (remember to include the “s” in https://).
Type admin in the Name eld and select Login.
Server mode
To switch to Server mode
Go to System > Status. Select Change for the Operation Mode. Select Server. The FortiMail unit will reset to factory default settings.
To change the administrator password
Go to System > Cong > Admin. Select Change Password for the admin administrator and enter a new password.
To congure interfaces
Go to System > Network > Interface.
