FortiMail Virtual Email Security

• Anti-spam protection
• Antivirus and malware protection
• Email filtering
• Email gateway security
• Email encryption
• Email policy enforcement
• Inbound email processing
• Outbound email processing
• SMTP functionality

FortiMail-VM04 License Tier

FortiMail-VM04 is the 4-CPU virtual appliance license tier.

Fortinet’s documentation identifies VM04 as supporting up to 4 virtual CPUs. Fortinet provides VM license tiers ranging from VM01 through VM32, allowing organizations to select a virtual resource level appropriate to their email-security workload.

FortiMail-VM04 Resource Specifications

These resource limits are documented by Fortinet for the FortiMail VM04 license.

The additional virtual CPU and memory capacity makes VM04 appropriate for larger email-security workloads than the VM01 and VM02 tiers.

FortiGuard Base Bundle

The FortiGuard Base Bundle provides the security-service component of this contract.

An active FortiGuard service entitlement is important for FortiMail deployments because FortiMail uses FortiGuard services for applicable security intelligence and updates. Fortinet notes that a valid FortiMail VM license is required to unlock the licensed capabilities and that the trial environment does not provide antispam and antivirus signature updates or the FortiGuard Antispam query.

Maintaining an active service contract helps organizations keep their FortiMail deployment within its applicable security-service entitlement throughout the subscription period.

24×7 FortiCare Support

The contract provides 24×7 FortiCare support for the one-year subscription period.

Continuous vendor support is particularly valuable for organizations operating business-critical email infrastructure where downtime, configuration problems, or security-service issues can affect business communications.

The FC-10-0VM04-642-02-12 product is specifically listed as a FortiMail-VM04 1 Year FortiCare and FortiGuard Base Bundle Contract.

Email Gateway Protection

FortiMail can be deployed as an email gateway between an organization’s mail infrastructure and external email services.

This allows organizations to apply security policies to email traffic before messages reach internal mail systems or before outgoing messages leave the organization.

Inbound Email Protection

Incoming messages can be processed through the FortiMail security layer to help identify spam, malware, and other unwanted content.

Outbound Email Protection

Outgoing email can also pass through FortiMail so organizations can apply security and policy controls to outbound communications.

Proxy MTA

FortiMail supports inbound and outbound proxy Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) services, allowing it to integrate with existing email gateways and mail infrastructure.

Email Encryption

FortiMail supports email encryption capabilities that can be used to protect sensitive communications.

The FC-10-0VM04-642-02-12 product information specifically identifies the ability to automatically encrypt messages for compliance based on content or recipient.

This can be useful for organizations handling confidential, regulated, or sensitive information through email.

Flexible Virtual Deployment

FortiMail-VM04 can be deployed within supported virtualization environments, allowing organizations to integrate email security into their existing virtual infrastructure.

Instead of requiring a dedicated physical appliance, the virtual FortiMail platform can use allocated virtual compute, memory, storage, and network resources.

For VM04, Fortinet specifies:

• Up to 4 vCPUs
• Up to 16 GB RAM
• Up to 6 virtual network interfaces
• Up to 4 TB virtual storage

This makes the VM04 tier suitable for organizations that require greater virtual resource capacity for their email-security environment.
