.
Configuring the FortiMail unit
Then you can configure detailed antispam, antivirus, and logging
settings to protect your mail servers and users. For details, see
the FortiMail online help or the FortiMail Administration Guide.
You can use one of the following tools to configure the FortiMail unit. If you are connecting and using the unit for the first time, it is
recommended you use the web-based manager only, because it comes with a quick start configuration wizard which can guide you
through the initial setup.
• Command Line Interface (CLI)
The FortiMail unit has a console port and you can use a RJ-45 to DB-9 console cable to connect it directly to your management
computer. For information about CLI commands, see the FortiMail CLI Reference on the documentation CD.
• Web-based manager
The web-based manager has two display modes: Basic and Advanced. The default mode when you first log on is Advanced. You can
switch between the two modes by clicking
Basic Mode >> or Advanced Mode >>.
In either mode, you can run the quick start configuration wizard to configure the basic network and antispam settings. For detailed
information about the quick start wizard, see the FortiMail Install Guide.
Configuration changes made with the web-based manager are effective immediately.
The FortiMail unit has the operation mode: gateway, transparent, and server. For details about operation modes and which mode you
should use, see the FortiMail Install Guide.
The default operation mode is gateway mode. You can change to transparent mode or server mode after connecting to the unit.
Changing operation mode causes system reboot.
