Description This article describes that the greylist exemption does not work for the IPV6.
Scope FortiMail versions 6.0, 6.2 ,6.4 and 7.0
Solution

The sender IP is in IPv4 format 0.0.0.0/0 by default.

A second exempt list entry with the sender IP as::/0 and the reverse DNS pattern should allow the greylist to be exempted when sourced from IPv6 IPs.

 

From CLI:

 

# config antispam greylist exempt
    edit 0
        set sender-ip ::/0
        set reverse-dns-pattern *.outbound.protection.outlook.com
    next
end

 

Change the reverse- dns-pattern as per the requirement if needed.
