Description


This article describes how to check the default SMTP under email service.

 

Scope

 

FortiGate.


Solution

 

Check the default SMTP server configured on the unit by going to System -> Advanced and selecting the email service.
 
 
Use that default email server to send an alert email, a FortiToken code email, and local reports (for FortiGate models with a disk).
 

Starting with v7.4.4, the default email server has changed from notification.fortinet.net to fortinet-notifications.com:

 

New serverNew server

 

The reply-to field in the source email is now automatically updated to DoNotReply@fortinet-notifications.com for all servers, including custom ones. The reply-to option is no longer available, as shown in the image above.

To check the default SMTP under the email service in the CLI:

 

config system email-server

    show full-configuration
        config system email-server
            set type custom
            set server "fortinet-notifications.com"
            set port 465
            set source-ip 0.0.0.0
            set source-ip6 ::
            set authenticate disable
            set validate-server disable
            set security smtps
            set ssl-min-proto-version default
            set interface-select-method auto
end
