FortiMail Devices

You can configure FortiMail to send suspicious files, URLs, and suspicious attachments to FortiSandbox for inspection and analysis. FortiSandbox statistics for total detected and total clean are displayed in FortiMail.

If FortiMail sends protected domain information, the domain names and jobs counts from them are listed. For each protected domain, you can set a submission limitation. If protected domain information is not available, such as files from older versions of FortiMail or outgoing emails, jobs from them are grouped in the Unprotected domain name.

For information on how to configure FortiMail to send files to FortiSandbox, see the FortiMail Administration Guide in the Fortinet Document Library.
