Answer options

• A. the publicly-facing DNS server.
• B. the internal LDAP server.
• C. the end user’s mail user agent.
• D. the server mode FortiMail.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the DNS MX records must point to the publicly-facing DNS server to ensure that emails can be routed correctly to the FortiMail server. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not serve as the destination for incoming email traffic in this configuration.
