Email Alerts
Hi everyone,
Just a simple question about email alerts on fortigate. To my understanding, the necessary settings are the following:
config system email-serverset port 25set server smtp.example.comset authenticate enableset username FortiGateset password *************endconfig alertemail settingset username fortigate@example.comset mailto1 admin1@example.comset mailto2 admin2@example.comset filter categoryset IPS-logs enableend My only question is this: where does one get the fortigate's email address from (fortigate@example.com)? Does every appliance come with its own email address, is it a case of putting the UTM's FQDN or what? Thanks.

It's not email address FGT has, but it's email address the SMTP server you use can accept as a source. If it's hosting "example.com" domain, it would accept email from "example.com" in the example on the manual.

Thanks, I don't think it would make sense otherwise.

Further on the above Toshi, would you also happen to know how that can be configured with smtp.office365.com?
