Scope FortiGate 
Solution

  2. Choose to use 'Custom Settings' and specify the server domain name and custom port as per the example below:

  1. Select the apply button to save the configuration.

 

From CLI:

 

config system email-server
    set type custom
    set server "test.com"
    set port 555
end

This configuration sends an alert email, email FortiToken code, and local reports (for the FortiGate model with disk).

 

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

This server is only available for devices registered with an active FortiCare support contract.

The reply-to field in the source email is now automatically updated to DoNotReply@fortinet-notifications.com for all servers, including custom ones.
