Fortimail license expiration

[vvanja]

Hello guys,

What will happen to my fortimail once licenses expire?

Will it be able still to send/relay emails?

What about protection, antispam, content and URL filtering?

Thank you in advance.

When your license expires, you will still be able to send/receive emails, but no protection will be provided. Traffic will pass unscanned

Hello

I guess FortiGuard scan will be disabled and signatures will not be updated anymore.

But what about basic scans, like SPF, AV, DKIM and so?

Hi @vvanja 

Please follow the document - https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.4.1/administration-guide/289376/license-expiration

Email Filtering

Spam filtering stops working, as it queries the FortiGuard spam filtering server in real-time to check spammer IP addresses and emails (except those that are locally configured), phishing URLs, spam URLs, spam email checksums, and spam submissions. Anti-spam signatures are not updated. Profile options based on local spam filtering continue to work. For more information, see Email filter.

Best regards,

Erlin
