FEATURES SUMMARY

Deployment Options:

Choose from three modes of deployment — Transparent, Gateway, or Server mode – to meet your specific email security requirements, while minimizing infrastructure changes and service disruptions:

Gateway Mode: Provides inbound and outbound proxy mail transfer agent (MTA) services for existing email gateways. A simple DNS MX record change redirects email to FortiMail for antispam and antivirus scanning. The FortiMail device receives messages, scans for viruses and spam, then relays email to its destination email server for delivery.

Transparent Mode: Each network interface includes a proxy that receives and relays email. Each proxy can intercept SMTP sessions even though the destination IP address is not the FortiMail appliance. FortiMail scans for viruses and spam, then transmits email to the destination email server for delivery. This eliminates the need to change the DNS MX record, or to change the existing email server network configuration.

Server Mode: The FortiMail device acts as a stand-alone messaging server with full SMTP email server functionality, including flexible support for secure POP3, IMAP and WebMail access. FortiMail scans email for viruses and spam before delivery. As in Server mode, external MTAs connect to FortiMail, allowing it to function as a protected server.

Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) IBE allows FortiMail to deliver confidential and regulated email securely — without requiring additional hardware, software user provisioning, or extra license fees. Use IBE to eliminate paper-based communications and reduce costs.

Policy-Based Encryption: Automatically encrypt messages for compliance, based on content or recipient.
Push or Pull Mode: Use Push, Pull, or a combination of modes to meet your requirements.
Easy to Deploy, Use, and Manage: Deploy IBE in any mode, including Transparent mode, without user provisioning or additional hardware or software.
