Configuring policies : What is a policy?
What is a policy?
A policy defines which way traffic will be filtered. It may also define user account settings, such as authentication type, disk quota, and access to webmail.
After creating the antispam, antivirus, content, authentication, TLS, or resource profiles (see “Configuring profiles”), you need to apply them to policies for them to take effect.
FortiMail units support three types of policies:
• Access control and delivery rules that are typical to SMTP relays and servers (see “Controlling SMTP access and delivery”)
• Recipient-based policies (see “Controlling email based on recipient addresses”)
• IP-based policies (see “Controlling email based on IP addresses”)
