Description: Fortinet FortiMail MIB providing SNMP management objects for email security gateway status, mail queue, antispam, and antivirus statistics.
Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.
What Is FORTINET-FORTIMAIL-MIB?
FORTINET-FORTIMAIL-MIB is Fortinet's current SNMP management MIB for FortiMail devices, the vendor's email security gateway product line providing antispam, antivirus, and mail relay/queue functionality. It is intended to expose system status alongside mail-specific operational data such as mail queue depth, antispam detection statistics, and antivirus scanning results. This directly supports monitoring the software health of the mail-processing pipeline: queue and scanning statistics reveal whether inbound/outbound mail is flowing normally or backing up due to a downstream outage or an overloaded scanning engine, complementing general device status like uptime. As a Fortinet product MIB it likely shares conventions with other Fortinet enterprise MIBs (e.g., FORTINET-CORE-MIB) though no explicit dependency objects were available in the provided source. It is deployed on Fortinet FortiMail appliances placed inline or as a relay in front of corporate mail servers to filter spam and malware and to monitor overall mail-flow health. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the FORTINET-FORTIMAIL-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in FORTINET-FORTIMAIL-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Monitoring Examples
No specific object or table names were provided for this module, so a concrete polling example cannot be grounded in real OIDs here; based on its stated purpose, an operator would typically monitor mail queue length and antispam/antivirus detection counters to catch a growing backlog of undelivered mail (pointing to a downstream SMTP server problem) or a spike in blocked messages (indicating a spam campaign or malware outbreak being filtered).
