Configuring Alert Emails with Gmail

Hello, Have a look at this: http://kb.fortinet.com/kb/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=FD33154&sliceId=1&docTypeID=DT_KCARTICLE_1_1&dialogID=50135454&stateId=0%200%2050133994

Virtually all major online email services (such as Hotmail, Gmail, etc.) require some form of SSL/TLS encryption when connecting. Since the Fortigate doesn' t allow that, you are pretty much limited to using internal email servers or email servers from your local ISP if they allow non-encrypted connections. There are free smtp servers available that are less cumbersome than Exchange that you could set up on your network. Or, if you have some time, you could try to implement this work-around posted on the Google forums: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/apps/mail-settings/oCwPE2o_oCM The above solution requires having a separate computer running a program called Stunnel. I have found that most modern appliances allow TLS email connections, so I imagine this is somewhere on Fortinet' s list to fix.
