Creating a new SMTP server

To create a new SMTP server:
  1. Go to System > Messaging > SMTP Servers and create a new email server for your users.
  2. Enter a Name, the IP address of the FortiAuthenticator, and leave the default port value (25).

    Enter the administrator’s email address, Account username, and Password.

    Note that, for the purpose of this recipe, Secure connection will not be set to STARTTLS as a signed CA certificate would be required.

  3. Once created, highlight the new server and select Set as Default.
  4. The new SMTP server will now be used for future user registration.
