Configuring the firewall policies

Create the following firewall policies:

• Allow SMTP connections from the protected email server to the FortiMail unit.
• Allow SMTP_quar_services from the local email users to the FortiMail unit.
• allow SMTP connections that are received at the wan1 virtual IP address from the FortiMail unit, then apply a static NAT when forwarding the traffic to the private network IP address of the protected email server.
• Allow PO3_IMAP_services that are received at the internal virtual IP address, then apply a static NAT when forwarding the traffic to the private network IP address of the protected email server.
• Allow PO3_IMAP_services that are received at the wan1 virtual IP address, then apply a static NAT when forwarding the traffic to the private network IP address of the protected email server.

Configuring the MUAs

Configure the email clients of local and remote email users to use the FortiMail unit as their outgoing mail (SMTP) server/MTA. For both local and remote email users, this is 10.10.10.5 or fortimail.example.com.

If you do not configure the email clients to send email through the FortiMail unit, incoming email delivered to your protected email server can be scanned, but email outgoing from your email users cannot.

Also configure email clients to authenticate with the email user’s user name and password for outgoing mail. The user name is the email user’s entire email address, including the domain name portion, such as user1@example.com.

If you do not configure the email clients to authenticate, email destined for other email users in the protected domain may be accepted, but email outgoing to unprotected domains will be denied by the access control rule.

Testing the installation

Basic configuration is now complete, and the installation may be tested. For testing instructions, see “Testing the installation” on page 159.
