profile authentication
Use this command to configure the FortiMail unit to connect to an external SMTP server in order to authenticate email users.
FortiMail units support the following authentication methods:
|
When the FortiMail unit is operating in server mode, only local and RADIUS authentication are available.
|
In addition to authenticating email users for SMTP connections, SMTP profiles can be used to authenticate email users making webmail (HTTP or HTTPS) or POP3 connections to view their per-recipient quarantine, and when authenticating with another SMTP server to deliver email.
Depending on the mode in which your FortiMail unit is operating, you may be able to apply authentication profiles through inbound recipient-based policies, IP-based policies, and email user accounts.
For more information, see the FortiMail Administration Guide.
