Hello Agus,

 

How is the notification email configured on Fortigate? Automation stitch or something else? Kindly share the notification email config.

 

Best Regards,

Probably because you didn't configure "set reply-to" under "config system email-server" in CLI.

Hi All,

Sorry for late reply and thank you for the contribution, here is configuration on our site

  • On web panel menu:  log & report  -> Email Alert Settings

tick enabled 

From: myemail

To: recipient email

Alert parameter: event

 

  •   From CLI

config system email-server
set reply-to "myemail@mydomain.com"
set server "notification.fortinet.net"
set port 465
set security smtps
end

 

Thank you

Maybe an issue with the old 6.0.2? The config looks fine.
My home 40F uses the same default "notification.fortinet.net" as SMTP server and no "reply-to" is configured. But it's 6.4.10 and the config has "set username" configured and the source email has this username in alert email. Does your 6.0.2 have "set username" command?

config system automation-action
edit "Link monitor change_email"
set action-type email
set email-to "myemail@mydomain.com"
set email-subject "Link monitor change"
next
end

FG100E (Link monitor cha~ail) # set email-from myemail@mydomain.com

command parse error before 'email-from'
Command fail. Return code -61

unselect Unselect multi-option values.
append Append values to multi-option.
