FortiMail

To be able to offload Anti-Spam processing to a FortiMail device you should.

1. Go to System > Feature Select and turn on AntiSpam Filter.

2. Go to System > External Security Devices, enable SMTP Service – FortiMail and add the IP address of your FortiMail device.

3. Go to Security Profiles > Anti-Spam and edit an Anti-Spam profile and set Inspection Device to External.

4. Go to Policy & Objects > IPv4 Policy, add or edit a Firewall policy, enable AntiSpam and select the profile for which you set Inspection Device to External.

When you add this Anti-Spam profile to a firewall policy, email traffic accepted by the policy is offloaded to the

FortiMail device for processing.

If your FortiGate or VDOM inspection mode is set to flow-based you must use the CLI to set an Anti-Spam profile to external mode and add the Anti-Spam profile to a fire- wall policy.

Enabling FortiMail on the External Security Devices page adds the following configuration to the CLI:

config system wccp set service-id 52

set router-id 5.5.5.5 (the IP address of the FortiGate interface that communicates with the FortiMail)

set group address 0.0.0.0

set server-list 5.5.5.65 255.255.255.255 (the IP address of the FortiMail)

set authentication disable set forward-method GRE

set return-method GRE

set assignment-method HASH

end

 

Selecting External in the Anti-Spam profile adds the following configuration to the CLI:

config spamfilter profile edit default

set external enable end
