Oversizing Risk Due to Complex Specifications

low implementation

FortiMail datasheets reference 'number of mailboxes' as a sizing metric, but this only applies to Server Mode deployments. For gateway or transparent mode deployments, you need to focus on throughput specifications instead. This confusion can lead to purchasing a higher-capacity appliance than actually needed.

Just be mindful when sizing up FML, in my experience, it can get confusing since part of the specs in the datasheet is "no of mailbox" this just really matters when FML is deployed in Server Mode. If you're deploying in in gateway or transparent, just focus on the other specs.
