Getting started

Before launching a campaign, ensure FortiPhish's mailer server address is added to your email server's safelist. To launch a new campaign, create a DNS token in FortiPhish, and then add it to the DNS settings of your domain. After your domain is configured, use FortiPhish to verify the authorization is valid. Create a user group in FortiPhish, and then select a campaign template to send to users.

To configure FortiPhish and deploy a campaign:
  1. Verify you own the domain.
  2. Configure the application settings:
  3. Create group lists and add servers to distribute campaign emails:
  4. (Optional) Configure custom campaigns:
  5. Create and launch the campaign.
  6. Monitor campaign statistics.
Note

To send phishing simulation emails, you must disable the DMARC/DKIM policy, as it will cause an error while attempting to send them. Alternatively, you can make slight modifications to the domain name, such as changing a letter, for example, use apple.con or amaz0n.com instead of apple.com or amazon.com, to send the mails. Another option is to bypass this restriction by using a custom SMTP server.
