Hello,

I'm migrating to fortiguard from a sophos sg utm. Since I have a large numbers of multifunction printers and other devices that requires email function, I actually points all of them to UTM ip address in order to send email (so I don't need to change passwords in all device when I change SMTP settings, I simply change it once on UTM). I cannot find the proper area of fortiguard in which I can configure it as a realy smtp server. Is it not possibile?

Thanks

Hi

Sophos UTM as NGX Version can act as a MX gateway or also called as a relaying server.

FortiGate does not support MX gateway or relaying server. With FGT you can only "transparent" controll Mail traffic like SMTP traffic by AntiVirus, Antispam etc. no other possibilities.

hope this helps

kind regards

Andrea
