Testing the installation
After completing the installation, test it by sending email between legitimate SMTP clients
and servers at various points within your network topology, and by testing each email
user’s access to their per-recipient quarantine.
If the FortiMail unit is operating in gateway mode or transparent mode, you may also wish
to test access of email users to their per-recipient quarantines.
If the FortiMail unit is operating in server mode, you may also wish to test access to
FortiMail webmail, POP3, and/or IMAP.
