Large files cannot be sent using FortiMail, and the program takes longer to accept them even when they are compressed. Perhaps the developer should improve the app's compatibility.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I consider the Fortimail to be a potent mail filtering tool with a ton of choices for personalization. Although I previously used a Barracuda mail firewall and believed that it had a more user-friendly interface, I do appreciate how seamlessly Fortimail works with the Fortigate Firewall and other Fortinet products. I've asked assistance a few times regarding configurations, and they've always been accommodating and helpful.
