Setting up a basic proxy-based Antivirus profile for email tranffic
Small offices, whether they are small companies, home offices, or satellite offices, often have very simple needs. This example details how to enable antivirus protection on a FortiGate unit located in a satellite office.
Context:
• The satellite office does not have an internal email server. To send and retrieve email, the employees connect to an external mail server.
• There is a specific firewall security profile that handles the email traffic from the Internet to the mail server. The only traffic on this policy will be POP3 and IMAP and SMTP
• The company policy is to block viruses and connections to botnets.
• The FortiGate unit is a small model and the Internet bandwidth is limited so the policy is to not submit files to the FortiGuard Sandbox.
