Sending email from an email client (gateway and transparent mode)

Setup for email users : Sending email from an email client (gateway and transparent mode)

To enable email users to send email through the FortiMail unit using an email client, the administrator must:

• Create an access control rule that permits valid email clients to connect. For details, see “Configuring access control rules”.

• Create an authentication profile to authenticate the users. For details, see “Configuring authentication profiles”.

• Enable SMTP authentication in the incoming recipient-based policy. For details, see “Controlling email based on recipient addresses”.

The email user must configure their email client with:

• outgoing SMTP email server that is either the FortiMail unit (gateway mode) or the protected SMTP server (transparent mode)

• enabled SMTP authentication

• user name and password (provided by the administrator; these credentials must mast the ones retrieved by the authentication profile)

• authentication that includes the domain name, such as user1@example.com instead of user1
