Description
This article describes that in the context of an email message delivery, 'relaying' refers to the operation when an email message is being sent to a destination that is not 'local' (Gmail, Yahoo, another company, etc.).
By default, the FortiMail unit does not accept emails for any other domain than is locally configured (see the 'Mail Settings -> Domains' menu). Otherwise, SPAM senders would be able to abuse this functionality, to send unsolicited emails without the approval of the FortiMail unit owner.
Scope
FortiMail all versions.
Solution
Then, apply this profile in the Policies -> Policies -> IP Policies or Policies -> Policies -> Recipient Policies menu, and enable the 'Use for SMTP authentication' checkbox.
From now on, every user whose credentials are verified by the internal SMTP server can send any email.
The Fortinet Security Fabric brings together the concepts of convergence and consolidation to provide comprehensive cybersecurity protection for all users, devices, and applications and across all network edges.
