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>]

    Caution

    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>"

    Tooltip

    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}

  • Renamed:

    config mailsetting mail-scan-options

    config mailsetting quarantine-rescan-options

    to:

    config mailsetting mail-scan-option

    config mailsetting quarantine-rescan-option

  • Renamed, merged, and moved many queries and time periods in:

    config report mail

  • Renamed:

    config antispam image-analysis

    set category swim-underwear

    to:

    set category lingerie-swimsuit

  • Moved:

    config mailsetting preference

    set disclaimer-insertion {selected-message | all-message}

    to:

    set disclaimer-per-domain {enable | disable}

    set disclaimer-insertion {selected-message | all-message}

  • Moved:

    config mailsetting preference
