Date

Change Description

2026-05-06

Initial release of the FortiMail 8.0.0 CLI Reference.

Renamed, deleted, or commands with changed behavior include:

  • Password backups in the old encrypted format may temporarily be kept until the next upgrade:

    config system administrator

    edit "<name_str>"

    [set old-password <password_str>]

    If passwords are not kept in the old format, and you downgrade from FortiMail 8.0.0, then administrators may not be able to log in. You may need to recover using a backup.

  • Renamed administrator accounts may occur during the software upgrade to FortiMail 8.0.0 to distinguish names that are now case-insensitive:

    config system administrator

    edit "<name_str>"

    If an administrator cannot log in after the upgrade, you can search the log messages to determine if their account was renamed during the upgrade.

  • Renamed:

    config profile content

    edit <profile_name>

    set remove-active-content {enable | disable}

    to:

    set html-active-content-action {keep | remove}

    Behavior also changed for:

    set html-content-url-action {click-protection | click-protection-isolator | isolator | keep | neutralize | remove}

    due to the new setting:

    set html-hidden-content-action {keep | remove}

    config mailsetting mail-scan-options

    config mailsetting quarantine-rescan-options

    to:

    config mailsetting mail-scan-option

    config mailsetting quarantine-rescan-option
