Disclaimer for a domain
The Disclaimer section that appears when configuring a protected domain lets you configure disclaimer messages specific to this protected domain.
A disclaimer message is text that is generally attached to email to warn the recipient that the email contents may be confidential. For disclaimers added to outgoing messages, you need to configure an IP-based policy or an outgoing recipient-based policy.
Disclaimer messages can be appended for either or both incoming or outgoing email messages. For information on determining the directionality of an email message, see “Incoming versus outgoing email messages”.
 
If the FortiMail unit is operating in transparent mode, to use disclaimers, you must enable clients to send email using their specified SMTP server. For more information, see “Use client-specified SMTP server to send email”.
