Configuring licensed features
The following features are configurable if the FortiMail unit has a valid feature license.
Configuring email continuity
When FortiMail is running in either gateway or transparent mode, with this feature enabled, end users are allowed to access inbound emails in instances where the email server behind the FortiMail unit goes offline. This feature is only available with a valid license from FortiGuard.
To configure email continuity
- Go to System > FortiGuard > Licensed Feature.
- In theEmail Continuity section, set Status to Enable. Alternatively, you may select either Disable or Disable and Purge Email (to disable the feature and purge email from the email continuity service after the configured retention period expires).
-
Adjust the Retention period according to your requirements. The higher the number, the higher the number of days emails are kept before they are removed. The default setting is 30. The valid range is 1-60.
The actual retention period is whichever is the smaller value of this setting and the email retention period set for incoming email when configuring a resource profile. See Configuring resource profiles.
By default, this feature is disabled.
- Enable Authentication cache status to allow FortiMail to caches user's password, enabling users to authenticate in the event of an LDAP server outage.
- Define the Authentication cache period in days. The default setting is 20. The valid range is 1-60.
Configuring advanced management features
If you have an advanced management feature license, you can go to System > FortiGuard > Licensed Feature and in the Advanced Management section, enable the following settings.

Enable or disable applying both inbound and outbound policies when an email is sent between protected domains. When this setting is disabled, if an email is sent between two protected domains, then FortiMail only applies the matching inbound policy. This means that, for example, an inbound policy with antispam would apply, but not an outbound policy with DLP. This behavior may be correct if all protected domains belong to the same company. However for an MSSP with multiple tenants, both policies should apply. In that case, enabled this setting so that FortiMail applies both inbound and outbound policies. |
