Step 3 of the Quick Start Wizard configures the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the
FortiMail unit, its listening port numbers, and whether to use SSL/TLS with SMTP clients
that request secure connections.
You usually should configure the FortiMail unit with a local domain name that is different
from that of protected email servers, such as mail.example.com for the FortiMail unit and
server.mail.example.com for the protected email server. The local domain name of the
FortiMail unit will be used in many features such as email quarantine, Bayesian database
training, spam report, and delivery status notification (DSN) email messages, and if the
FortiMail unit uses the same domain name as your mail server, it may become difficult to
distinguish email messages that originate from the FortiMail unit.
Note: The local domain name should be globally DNS-resolvable only if the FortiMail unit is
used as a relay server for outgoing email.

synchronize the system time with an NTP
server, enter the domain name or IP address
of an NTP server. For a list of public NTP
servers, see http://www.ntp.org/.
Note: Verify connectivity with the NTP
server. Failure to set the correct time could
result in issues such as inaccurate log
message times and inability to make secure
connections, including downloading
