Fortinet FortiMail 5001A

FortiMail - Comprehensive Messaging Security

The FortiMail-5001A is a proven, powerful messaging security platform for carriers, service providers, and large enterprises. Purpose-built for the most demanding messaging systems, the FortiMail-5001A blade utilizes Fortinet's years of experience in protecting global enterprises, carriers and service providers from spam, malware, and other message-borne threats. The FortiMail-5001A can process up to 1.1 million emails per hour with full antivirus and antispam filtering, protecting high volume messaging systems without affecting performance.

The FortiMail-5001A integrates quickly and easily with chassis-based FortiGate-5000 series multi-threat security systems, and other 3rd party ATCA chassis. The range of policy monitoring, reporting, and enforcement options gives you the ability to manage your policies down to individual employees or subscribers. FortiMail's outbound inspection technology prevents outbound spam or malware (including 3G mobile traffic), from causing other antispam gateways to blacklist your subscribers protecting your domain's reputation and service delivery.

Proven Security:

The FortiMail family of appliances is a proven, powerful messaging security platform for any size organization, from small businesses to carriers, service providers, and large enterprises. Purpose-built for the most demanding messaging systems, the FortiMail appliances utilize Fortinet’s years of experience in protecting networks against spam, malware, and other message-borne threats.

Intelligent Protection:

You can prevent your messaging systems from becoming threat delivery systems with FortiMail. Its inbound filtering engine blocks spam and malware before it can clog your network and affect users. Its outbound inspection technology prevents outbound spam or malware from causing other antispam gateways to blacklist your users (including 3G mobile traffic). FortiMail’s dynamic and static user blocking gives you granular control over all of your policies and users.

Fast, Flexible Filtering:

The high-performance threat filtering technology delivered by the FortiMail appliances will not affect your users or delay their communications, as the custom-built hardware and software processes and filters messages in real-time. FortiMail also gives you unmatched flexibility to deploy your messaging security in the mode that best suits your environment and your users. You can deploy FortiMail in Transparent, Gateway, or Server mode, maximizing the effectiveness of the FortiMail technology while minimizing the impact on existing services and users.

• Transparent Mode: Each network interface includes a proxy that receives and relays email. Each proxy can intercept SMTP sessions even though the destination IP is not the FortiMail appliance, eliminating the need to change the DNS MX record or change the existing mail server network configuration.
• Gateway Mode: Provides inbound and outbound proxy MTA services for existing email gateways. A simple DNS MX record change redirects email to FortiMail for antispam and antivirus scanning.
• Server Mode: Delivers full-featured SMTP mail server functionality, with flexible support for secure POP3, IMAP and WebMail access.
