Gateway mode
In Gateway mode, the FortiMail unit protects your email server by scanning the SMTP trafc
for viruses and spam messages as it passes through the FortiMail unit.
You can congure your rewall or DNS server to ensure that incoming SMTP trafc goes
through the FortiMail unit before reaching the email server. Optionally, you can congure the
email server to use the FortiMail unit as the relay server for outgoing SMTP trafc.
The FortiMail unit integrates into your existing network with only minor changes to your
network conguration.
Transparent mode
In Transparent mode, the FortiMail unit protects your email server by scanning the SMTP traf-
c for viruses and spam messages as it passes through the FortiMail unit.
The FortiMail unit provides seamless integration into existing networks. You can place the
FortiMail unit in front of the existing email server without any conguration changes to the
existing network topology, for ltering email messages. This means that all of the FortiMail
interfaces are on the same IP subnet and appears to other devices as a bridge. Alternatively,
you can congure the FortiMail unit as a combination of a bridge and a router by assigning
IP addresses to some of its interfaces. In this situation, the interfaces can be on different
subnets.
