    Hi Fullmoon,

     

    You cannot really manage a FortiMail with a FortiManager, the Manager is acting only as a log collector and to manage licenses, system updates and AV/AS pattern files.

     

    To use this feature you have to configure the FML unit to send logs to the Manager and after a while, the Manager will show the new FML unit and you can add it.

     

    IMHO, if you just have a mail envirionment, it does not make much sense to bind it to a manager.

    If you have already a manager available, feel free to use the option, but don't expect too much of it.
