The FortiMail family of message security appliances provides an effective barrier against the ever-rising volume of spam, maximum protection against sophisticated message-based attacks, and features designed to facilitate regulatory compliance. FortiMail offers both inbound and outbound scanning, advanced antispam and antivirus filtering capabilities, IP address black/white listing functionality, and extensive quarantine and archiving capabilities. Three deployment modes offer maximum versatility: transparent mode for seamless integration into existing networks with no IP address changes, gateway mode as a proxy MTA for existing messaging gateways, or full messaging server functionality for SMBs and remote offices.

• Layered protection (FortiGate + FortiMail) improves messaging security, separates low-latency perimeter and high-latency email functions for more efficient operation
• Advanced inspection capabilities and additional IP/antispam filtering functions improves protection against sophisticated message-based threats
• Stops spam before it consumes messaging system and network resources, reducing capital expenditures on messaging functionality
• FortiGuard subscription services deliver dynamic updates to antispam and antivirus functionality through intelligence gathered by Fortinet's dedicated global threat research team.
• Advanced messaging content archiving, quarantining, and routing capabilities help achieve regulatory compliance
• Three modes of operation provide flexible deployment options (Transparent, Gateway, and Server)
• Turn-key deployment, integrated management, logging and reporting, and fully-automated security updates reduce IT management burden and operational expenses, with no per-user licensing fees
