FortiMail Devices

In FortiMail version 5.2.0 or later, you can configure your FortiMail device to send suspicious files, URLs, and suspicious attachments to FortiSandbox for inspection and analysis. FortiSandbox statistics for total detected and total clean are displayed on FortiMail.

If FortiMail sends over protected domain information, those domain names and jobs counts of them are listed. For each protected domain, the user can set a submission limitation.

If protected domain information is not available, such as files from older versions of FortiMail or outgoing emails, jobs from them will be grouped in Unprotected domain name.

For more information on how to configure FortiMail to send files to FortiSandbox, please refer to the FortiMail Administration Guide available in the Fortinet Document Library.
