Explanation

FortiMail will accept SMTPS connections. The SMTPS port (465) is enabled and "SMTPS" authentication is turned on, so it will listen for and accept implicit-SSL SMTP on port 465. FortiMail will support the STARTTLS extension. With "SMTP over SSL/TLS" enabled on port 25, the server advertises and accepts STARTTLS for opportunistic TLS upgrades on plaintext SMTP sessions.
