The FortiMail 3000F handles 3.5 Million messages per hour of email routing and 2.1 Million messages per hour with enterprise advanced threat protection enabled, across 2,000 email domains and 3,000 server-mode mailboxes.
2.1 million ATP messages an hour, 2,000 domains, 3,000 mailboxes, 20 TB maximum. Carrier and large service-provider scale. At this volume the deployment mode decision, gateway, transparent or server, has more effect on the design than the model choice does, and it should be settled first.
How to work out whether it fits
The arithmetic a datasheet leaves out. If any of it does not match your situation, that is worth a call rather than a guess.
Two thousand domains and 20 TB puts this in service-provider territory, where the sizing exercise is per-tenant rather than aggregate. Work out the largest single tenant's volume and retention, then multiply, an average across customers will under-size you the first time one of them runs a campaign. Deployment mode should be settled before the model: gateway, transparent and server mode have very different operational footprints at this scale.
What to order alongside the FortiMail 3000F
The published threat protection figure for this model is measured with IPS, application control and malware protection all running. Those arrive as a FortiGuard subscription, so the bundle you choose decides whether the hardware can reach the number you sized it on. Every bundle already includes FortiCare Premium 24x7 support.

| Enterprise ProtectionENT | The broadest bundle. Everything in UTP, plus the services that cover data, SaaS posture and attack-surface visibility, plus inline zero-day malware prevention. | on quote | on quote | on quote |
| Unified Threat ProtectionUTP | The traditional mid-tier: perimeter defence covering network, file, web and email threats. Everything most sites actually switch on. | on quote | on quote | on quote |
| Advanced Threat ProtectionATP | The narrow bundle: IPS and the full malware stack including cloud sandboxing, without the web and email filtering layers. | on quote | on quote | on quote |
These are Fortinet list prices. You will not pay them.
Every quote we write is discounted from list, and how far below depends on quantity, term and whether we register the deal with Fortinet. Longer terms also price better per year, which is why three and five year bundles are usually the better buy on a device you intend to keep through a refresh cycle. Part numbers follow Fortinet’s standard bundled convention; not every model carries every combination, so we confirm the exact orderable SKU before anything is placed.
