NSE 6 – FortiMail 5.3/5.4 — Question 13

Which of the following statements are true regarding FortiMail's behavior when using the built-in MTA to process email in transparent mode? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. FortiMail can queue undeliverable messages and generate DSNs
• B. If you disable the built-in MTA, FortiMail will use its transparent proxies to deliver email
• C. FortiMail ignores the destination set by the sender and uses its own MX record lookup to deliver email
• D. MUAs need to be configured to connect to the built-in MTA to send email

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers are B and C because, in transparent mode, if the built-in MTA is disabled, FortiMail uses transparent proxies for delivery, and it conducts its own MX record lookup, ignoring the sender's destination. Options A and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the behavior of FortiMail in this mode.
